A member asked:
Are blue lips a symptom of a heart attack?

Possibly: Usually it is the sign of poor oxygen content in the blood, which can be due to pulmonary, congenital, or cardiac causes. See your doctor to have this evaluated.

Not really: Cyanosis may occur with cold, hypoxia, shock, pulmonary disease, emphysema. So, it is significant to identify and seek the specific cause. Blue babies were identifiers of congenital heart disease.
