Is Bluish Lips And Fingers Due To An Asthma Attack?
My daughter was recently diagnosed with sports induced asthma. She is 13, prescribed Albuterol, 2 puffs 15 mins before activity. While in gym her friends have noticed her lips and fingers turned blue. My daughter indicated she felt like passing out at that same time. She thinks that was the day she forgot to take the inhaler 15 mins before starting to run and actually took it right before the running began. Is that a normal symptom if you don t take the inhaler 15 mins beforehand? Or should I be concerned?

Hello,
Yes, it is called in the medical terminology as Cyanosis, but it is better that please consult cardiologist and get a 2D-ECHO done to rule out any cardiac cause of the Cyanosis.
Do not let her go out of stress and over exercised, her physical activity needs to be monitored by a physical trainer or doctor at the gym.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
