For the past couple of weeks, I wake up and notice pain in one or two of my fingernails. It's only really noticeable when I apply pressure to the top of my fingernail or on my finger under the nail. I don't see any bruising or discoloration and the pain usually goes away by the end of the day, but the next day I'll wake up to find the pain in a different finger. It has happened on both hands on multiple fingers.
I've also noticed several weeks ago that I had dozens of little bruises on both legs and even a mysterious busted vein in my ankle. I'm not sure if the two are related but I'm wondering if maybe it's due to blood pressure? I have had heart failure in 2013 and was told I have slightly thick blood and am at risk for stroke and blood clots but was never put on a blood thinner. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
What could be causing the pain in my fingernails?

Not sure, but based on the facts inj your post I would have you ask a Dr about all this so it can be diagnosed/investigated and treated. I'd so this sooner than later.
