DH lips turning blue

[GoBackToPartyCity]

In the last week DH’s lips have turned blue. There’s been no ‘trigger’ for it. The first time we were having a drink at the pub and he’s just at work tonight.

Anyone had this before? He’s a relatively fit 35 year old with no known health problems.

P.s....I have told him to book a doctor’s appointment.

Covid - definitely get checked quickly as lack of oxygen is a symptom

Hope he’s ok!

My DJ’s dentist rang today to confirm his appointment on Monday. He wasn’t in so she ran through a health check list with me. Amongst the questions concerning Covid-19 she asked me if his lips had gone blue. Your Dh needs to see a doctor now.

Your husbands dentist shoykd realky only do a questionnaire on the person themselves. As your husband coukd keep important medical things from you. Why did she as about blue lips. Ive seen the dentist a lot during lockdown and that wasn't asjed. Hope your husband is ok though

We bought an oximeter at the beginning of lockdown. For whatever reason, with Covid, SATs can go quite low before the person feels unwell, then they deteriorate rapidly.
I think it would be reasonable to go straight to A&E. It only takes a minute to check SATs.
Oximeters are not expensive and they are easily available.

It's called 'cyanosis'; your husband needs a medical check up.

As an aside, he might want to look into some help for the needle phobia because as he gets older, he will have more need to get things checked. Putting off tests really affects outcomes.

How did things go OP?

@GoBackToPartyCity hope things are ok.

How's DH Doing now?

Sorry for not updating! DH absolutely fine. Clinician was not concerned in the slightest!

That's good, OP. Some of us are naturally just a bit on the blue side!

Great! I wouldn't have bothered if he was otherwise well but probably best you did go.

Good news OP. It was worth getting checked out though.

I was going to ask if he has a blue pen at work ? With a slightly chewed end ?? Glad it seems to be a non event !

Not bothered by blue lips?

Wow

Clinician?

Not interested in blue lips on more than one occasion, for no apparent reason?
Weird.
I think he should see his GP.

Glad to hear he's feeling ok though.

@MJMG2015 it took my GP 18 months after my numerous visits with blue lips and fingers/toes to finally decide I had reynauds. There's no treatment for it so it's really just a title for what occurs. Quite possibly OPs DH has this disorder and that's why the lack of interest.
