A member asked:
What is causing me to have severe trouble breathing and purple hands and feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart or lungs: Bluish fingers and toes suggest either low oxygen from a lung problem, or poor circulation from a heart problem. Both can cause shortness of breath so please get a medical assessment.
