Hi
Purple lips can be a sign of low oxygen levels - but it isn't that straight forward. Have you ever had your oxygen levels assessed? It certainly would be worth speaking to your GP or respiratory nurse about it.

Yep I think you need to see the doc about this, please take care and let us know how you get on.
I would think you need your blood gases checked as Mark says, contact your respiratory nurse or GP.
Best wishes
Jo
