Your video was too short and did not explain what is the angle when the 2 fingers ate put together to determine if it is normal or abnormal like in pulmonary fibrosis. Is there a sign of this disease if the angle is LESS or MORE THAN 180 degrees? Can you explain in more detail? I would really appreciate because my wife has pulmonary fibrosis and I just want to understand more on the symptoms.
Thank you. Ernesto

My fingers and nails are mildly clubbed. I first noticed it 5 years ago (it may have existed before). Now I am 22 and recently someone told me lung cancer and congenital heart disease are the most common causes of it. Can I have any of those diseases?
