I know you’ve seen the doctor now OP and hopefully all is well but thought I’d add my comment anyway! I have three kids, one has a diagnosed congenital heart defect (picked up when doc found a heart murmur during a general check when he was in for something else) but never blue lips. One gets really blue lips particularly when cold / after swimming but no heart issues and one doesn’t go blue and has no heart issues! So fingers crossed your daughter definitely has no heart issues.
