blue lips

[22alfie]

🤔dose this happen to anyone else if I'm in conversation with people for a wee while my oxygen levels drop and my lips and tongue start to turn blue. Advice welcome

Have you got a pulse/oximeter, my rehab nurse gave me a couple, they are cheap to buy, the reason I ask this is have you checked your oxygen saturation when this happens?

Yes I have them but have not checked when it happens I will do in future I suppose it's still early days as I had heart attack and stent fitted beginning of June and well yes cocktail of pills that never had before. My friends and hubby just said stop talking !! Bloody check 🤣 impossible.

I sometimes get blue lips/fingernails and get cold hands at the same time - usually with low blood pressure. I assumed it was the cocktail of drugs I was on as my body got used to them lowering my heart rate and blood pressure.

I have low blood pressure and still early days and cocktails of pills not used to. My circulation has always been bad cold hands etc. Thanks for reply ☺️
