finger clubbing

Posted , 12 users are following.

I have clubbed fingers and toes. I have had the following test which were inconclusive; blood tests, chest x-ray, heart ultra-sound and lung function test. I cannot remember when my fingers became like they are or if they were like that since a young age. I have asthma since a young age, and no other health problems. No one in my family has these symptoms. Please can you advice. Thanks.

    I've had newly onset finger clubbing accompanied by a cough since March 2022.

    My consultant has done a battery of tests, but none of the results explain the clubbing.

    I've had a chest X-ray, CT scan with contrast, lung function, 6-minute walk test and FBC, ESR, CRP, LFT, U&E blood tests.

    All of which have come back normal. My only personal observations are, I have lower SP02 than in the past at 97% instead of 100%.

    I'm male, 31 years of age and in remission from childhood blood cancer.

    Did anyone get to the bottom of there finger clubbing? And what tests are suggested?

    Thanks.
