Purple or red lines under your nails
What it could be telling you: Most people who notice lines under their nails are likely to have damaged the nail. You may need to visit your doctor if you cannot recall injuring your nails. These lines could be an indication of heart disease or another condition.
People who have heart disease will often experience symptoms such as high fever or a weakening of the heartbeat.

Infective endocarditis is a condition in which painful lumps develop in the fingers, toes, or both. These lumps can last from a few hours up to several days.
