The therapist named the diseases associated with blue lips

Blue lips can indicate serious illnesses and are a signal for immediate medical attention. Honored Doctor of Russia, Professor at RosBioTech Alexander Konkov said this on Monday, April 7.

According to the specialist, blue lips often indicate cardiovascular pathology, lack of oxygen and anemia, as well as an infectious disease - true or false croup. In addition, this symptom indicates neurological Raynaud's disease and allergic reactions.

"In case of hypothermia, this symptom should not frighten a person. In this situation, there is such a phenomenon in the body as the centralization of blood circulation — the blood flow is concentrated on vital organs: the brain, heart and kidneys," said Konkov in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

The professor emphasized that sudden blue lips are an important reason to visit a doctor for diagnosis and recommendations. This is especially true in cases that are accompanied by other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and muscle contraction, the doctor concluded.
