Have Asthma And Bronchitis. Taking Prednisone. Lips And Fingertips Turning Blue. Go To Cardiologist?
I have asthma and chronic bronchitis and have been on prednisone for 18 months. my lips and left hand fingertips
are turning blue sometimes. my 02sat was 96 @ pulmonologist's office and he noticed my fingertips were blue.
this was a new pulmonologist that I saw to get a 2nd opinion. I forgot to tell my pulmonologist about it.I don't see him
for another week. Should I go to my M.D. or make an appointment with a cardiologist?

BETTER TO GO TO CARDIOLOGIST AS YOU ARE HAVING STEOIDS FOR 18 MONTHS
BLUENESS MEANS YOUR BLOOD SUPPLY TO THESE PARTS ARE NOT POROPEER
IN RESPIRAORY ASTHMA PATIENT ONLY HAS BLUE FINGERS DURING ATTACK
SO GET FULL INVESTIGATIONS OF HEART AFTER CONSULTING CARDIOLOGIST
MIGHT BE YOUR MEDICINES FOR ASTHMA ARE GIVING EFFECTS ON HEART
