About Cyanosis
Hello, can you tell me why Cyanosis is produced and what exams should be done to find out the cause? Thanks in advance
Hi, thanks for answering!
My doctor seems not to have a clue of what's going on with my body. This started after overexercising on July 14th. Half and hour after the exercise I noticed that my fingernails were blue and probably my lips were a little blue too. It lasted for some hours, but my fingernails never returned to their original colour. They are somewhat purple now. Only my thumb in my right hand gets very blue sometimes. This had never happened to me before that day. I never had any kind of respiratory problems.
I saw a gp, a cardiologist and and a pulmonologist and had some blood tests, ECG, echo, spirometry, and x-ray, the only result I got is a mild upper cervical disorder, the rest all ok. But my fingernails don't have the same colour than they had all my life. Are there any other exams I should get for this?
Also, a week after the cyanosis I started feeling a drunk-like condition. A sort of dizzy, my eyes feel like I need to sleep, my vision is a sort of blurred and I have many headaches. These symptoms last until today. My GP seems not to have a clue about this either. Tomorrow I'm seeing a neurologist for this.
So do you have any advice of what to do with the cyanosis? I appreciate your answer, thank you very much!

Cyanosis is caused by a lack of or low level of oxygen in the blood. It can be a simple reaction to cold weather such as going outside without gloves (vasoconstriction) up to and including issues caused by respiratory problems, eymphsema, asthma, etc... to respiratory arrest. Have been to a doctor for a physical? Or do you have a history of respiratory problems?
