Shrivelled chilli leaves

Some of my chilli plants have developed some shrivelling/ wrinkling of uppermost leaves. Otherwise look healthy. Should I worry- have never grown chillies before.

    It may well be just the fast changing weather conditions we've had of late.
    A photo may help us be more specific, but if there are no beasties on the leaves and the plants are otherwise healthy they sound ok

    Have you had a look underneath one of the wrinkled leaves? I may be able to see an aphid cast.
    Sometimes over watering or irregular watering can cause leaf problems.
    They look generally healthy though, so I'd not be too concerned.
    It looks like you're about to pot them on, so that with give them a boost
