Brief Answer: Suspect anaemia Detailed Answer: Hi.Thanks for writing me. Flat nails or concave/spooning of nails are suggestive of anaemia. Do your nails look pale? Do you get fatigued easily? I were to do complete blood count after physical examination-check for signs of anemia & plan further treatment. Hope this answers your query.
