Symptom #7: Finger Clubbing
People’s hands and fingers come in a range of shapes and sizes. Regardless, the vast majority of us have fingers that are fairly straight and curved at the end. Clubbing, however, is a condition that causes peoples fingers and thumbs to become “club” shaped at the end.
Clubbing is a condition that is a symptom of various respiratory problems, including bronchiectasis. The exact cause of clubbing is not known although it is thought to be something to do with distended blood vessels. There is no known cure for the condition, although treating bronchiectasis may be able to at least ease the symptoms.
