A member asked:
If im not getting enough oxygen to my heart would it cause numing in the lips and short of breath. my last test was abnormal and this may be the cause?

Heart problem: When the heart muscle is weak or there are problems with the heart valves shortness of breath with exertion occurs. Sometimes the lips can have a bluish tint due to low oxygenation of tissues. Your cardiologist is the best person to advise you of your condition.
