Hi, are they bending upwards or downwards? downward bending or nail clubbing, also known as digital clubbing, is a deformity of the finger or toe nails associated with a number of diseases, mostly of the heart and lungs. Clubbing for no obvious reason can also occur, but is rare. Other cause are gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary, graves' disease (autoimmune hyperthyroidism), familial and racial clubbing and" pseudoclubbing" vascular anomalies of the affected arm such as an axillary artery aneurysm (in unilateral clubbing). Get a thorough body check up done from a nearby hospital for final conclusion.
