Looks like cyanosis, have you done a hemoglobin electrophoresis?, any other symptoms like short of breath? Did you go to the doctor?

Right now I am hypothyroid and low potassium.  the low potassium sent me to the hospital last week thinking I was having a heart attack.  Just how low is your potassium?
No one seems to think that the two co-inside.

My tsh is 6.09 and my postassium was 2.6

Never had the puple lips or  bluish tint.

Not sure if this helps, but I have the combination of the two.

Keep us posted.
