Dr. Shah said, “Inward-curving spoon-shaped nails often suggest iron-deficiency anaemia. This frequently happens after pregnancy when blood iron levels drop. Other symptoms include feeling tired, short of breath, having pale skin, and headaches.”

“Nail changes can also be a symptom of hyperthyroidism, which is when your thyroid gland pumps out too many hormones. Loose nails are a common sign.”

You may have hypothyroidism.

“Brittle nails are a telltale sign of an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), where the gland doesn’t produce enough hormones. It’s crucial to diagnose this quickly, usually with a blood test.”
