What Causes Hands, Feet And Lips To Turn Blue?

I have a 18 month old baby who has been having her hands feet and lips turning blue. She eats well and seems fine in every way. Her Dr. is doing blood work now and she has a ECO on Tuesday to check her heart, even though her Dr thinks her heart in fine but doind the check to make sure. Today she fell off my lap (we were on the floor) and she cried and started to sweat. This has never happened befor. She was brght red and clammy and sweatly all over. Is this normal?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern. You have mentioned that a physician has examined your kid and told that her heart is fine. But anyhow get an echo done so that we can be doubly sure. The other possibility is breath holding spell, if these incidents of bluish discoloration are happening, after crying. I suggest you get back to your Pediatrician regarding this possibility after the Echo has come out as normal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
