Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Is it true that blue lips are affected by heart disease?Doctor's answer:
The upper lip turns blue, which is called cyanosis in clinical diagnosis. It can be a symptom of choking in humans. If you are not in a special environment and exhibit symptoms of choking, it may be due to heart-related issues. Our lungs and heart are connected, so conditions like cor pulmonale and heart failure can lead to poor cardiac pumping function, resulting in poor pulmonary circulation and subsequent choking. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough cardiac examination at a regular hospital.
