Get emergency help: If your lips have turned blue - you are not get enough oxygen. Your shortness of breath and chest tightness mean that your respiratory system is not working adequately. Please get emergency care now.

Yes: It would be advisable to get tested right away. Lips turning blue is a sign that should be taken seriously, as it indicates hypoxemia (not enough oxygen in the blood).
