What Causes Hands, Lips And Feet To Turn Blue, Loss Of Appetitea And Sleep In Children?

Hiya my daughter will be 2 next month, before she was born the day I went I m to hospital in labour when they monitored me her heart rate was 188 so the doctors thought it could be the cord round her neck or something wrong with her heart, I got sent home by the midwife though and ended up giving birth at home luckily the cord wasn t round her neck she was fine up until last year when she was 5 months old she ended up in hospital with broncolitus she was in there for 12 days on oxygen, feeding tube etc the doctors I m hospital also heard a heart murmur twice she came home and had a scan as an outpatient and the woman said everything looked fine but ever since then she s constantly getting ill for a good few months her hands, lips & feet will go blue, she tires easily can sleep all night but still get up and have to go back to sleep for a few hours not long after getting up and can sleep for at 4-5 hours, she doesn t really eat a lot anymore either. I took her to doctors a few weeks ago for something else and also got the doctor to listen to her heart she said it sounded fine but to be honest wasn t very good anyway. I just wanted your opinions on her symptoms as it s a worry as I had a hole in my heart when I was younger I had it closed up when I was 9 but my mum said my daughter is the exact same as I was and also my partner has a bicuspid aortic valve. Can you please give me some light on her symptoms and what it could be related to? Thank you

Pediatrician 's  Response
I think you need a good cardiology workup for your child again. Is she gaining weight properly? Does she get tired when feeding and sweat excessively? Very frequent cough and colds? These are issues to be concerned about. Please relate them to your cardiologist.
