Blue lips, please help my peace of mind

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can answer this for me... I was at my Neurologists today and showed her that my lips turn bluish after standing for a minute. This has been happening for at least a few years.

She got me an appointment with a heart specialistant in two days, which freaked me out a bit as the waiting list is months long.

My question is, over the years i've worn a halter monitor, had a heart ultrasound and chest xray... would these have shown something if there was an issue with my heart? What else will they do?

thanks for any insight you can give me

I also had an ekg months ago when I had chest wall pain to rule out anything heart related...

They might also do an angiogram to study blood flow through the arteries and vessels of your heart.  Your symptoms could be related to circulatory problems.

Blue lips can be caused by heart or lung issues and may be just a minor problem. There are many other reasons that cause this bluish tint so please try to stay in the moment and know your physician is being diligent in referring you to a Cardiologist.


Do keep us posted as to what the Cardiologist has to say if you would. We all learn from each other here in this forum.
