Hello, Thanks for contacting us at "Ask a Doctor". I will try to answer your question to the best of my ability. It is true that finger clubbing can be associated with underlying disease - mainly of the heart and lungs. However, if you have no symptoms and are healthy then you most likely have idiopathic clubbing. This is nothing to worry about, and I would simply ignore it at this time. I hope this helps. Please message me back if you have any further questions. Best wishes, A Chat Doctor.
