Is this normal

[Sorcha1973]

Today I met up with my sister outside. She noticed that my lips where slightly blue. Do I contact my gp or is this normal. 3 months post HA and 2 stents.

I’ll give them a ring in the morning thank you.

No other symptoms I’m feeling better than I’ve felt in a long long time before my HA

[Sorcha1973]

Before everything a friend noticed this to. I put it off to being cold. Im not very good at bothering the doctors. Maybe I need to change. I’m not one for wanting to waste people’s time. 🙄

Doctors spent at least 7 years to get qualified. I am sure they don't mind being bothered, since they are still learning.

Hi Sorcha, definitely discuss with your cardio doc. I hike in the cold a lot, and I’ve never met anyone who gets so cold they get blue!

To me, blue flesh suggests fresh red blood isn’t getting there. That could be just poor circulation (but why?) or it could be an early sign of something with your heart.

I’m also minded to think it’s relevant from a cardio viewpoint, because in my results letters from Brompton heart docs, they often say that I was “pink” and mean it in a good way (giggles aside!).

Suggest you could take a photo & send to doc, in these telephone appointment times....

Lets have a guess who your cardiologist is at the Royal Brompton? 😂😂Odds on its Collins

I live I Northern Ireland. I went to school with my cardiologist lol. He’s very well accomplished here. After 7 hrs in A@e I’m home thank goodness and suggested it’s coming from my stomach. Now I know my bloods and ecg are normal I’d say it’s more muscular. But at least I’m not worried/ anxious now. Thanks 🙄😉
