my fingertips/nails and lips sometimesed a become bluish. my ECG and oxygen are normal but i'm 7 months pregnant as of now so the tests are limited to only the ECG and oxygen. it started way before i became pregnant, and now that i am pregnant, i'm getting worried about my baby and my delivery because, earlier, i don't know if i read it somewhere or watched about it, and it said that if you're experiencing something like that (bluish fingertips/nails and lips), it must be a heart problem. even though my ECG and oxygen are normal, i'm still worried about my baby and my health because tests that should be done to see if it's a heart problem is limited because i'm pregnant. can someone tell me, if it's a heart problem?
Answer:
You need to tell your obstetrician.However, since your symptoms preceded your pregnancy, it is reasonable to believe it is not related to your pregnancy.The most common cause is congenital, or something you are born with. If you have a small "hole" between your heart chambers, it can cause the symptoms you describe especially when you are doing some physical exertion.If you have insufficiency of your respiratory system, it can cause the same.If you have a condition that otherwise causes a so-called left to right shunt, meaning allowing the blood flow to go from an arterial system to a venous system without going through the heart and lungs, it can cause the same, given time.A qualified physician should be able to perform tests that are not going to affect the baby to determine what is going on.
Frost bite. Stop climbing mountains there buddy.
7 months pregnant, any problems wouldve come up earlier, although blue lips and fingertips? i wouldnt get your alarms raised, but it could be lack in circulation, somewhere
As you suspect it's usually related to not getting enough oxygen. Since you are pregnant you should see your doctor about this ASAP.
I certainly hope you are not smoking. To much alcohol can also cause this. But, it always has to do with oxygen and the heart when that blue becomes present. It does not mean the baby will be affected and if the pro's say things are fine then believe them and get a second opinion.
possible poor circulation and massage therapy is a benefactor to good body maintence.
If you're concerned the safest thing would be to go to the doctor and find out from a porfessional. I was just gonna say that it was cos of lack of circulation but since I read that you're pregnant that makes it different. Is there ot a doctor you could go and see about this?
poor circulation
