Wow, I just learned a lot on this Mayo site about finger nails:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nails/WO00055

if its pitting, psoriasis can cause that.

if its Beaus lines, seems like a number of things can cause it (some of which inkyfinger listed plus a few other things).

if they look obvious, I'd show them to the doctor and ask the doctor if he/she thinks its a clue to anything important, rheumatologically speaking.
