Hi I have a son at 18months who i am a little worried about as his lips and hands turn blue for no apparent reason he is not cold when this happens his breathing is fine and he doesnt even notice its happening the thing is it happened for about a week old but stopped up until about 7weeks ago, he has been 2 the hospital where we saw many doctors consultants etc he got kept in and the consultant wanted lots of tests done ie blood tests, blood pressure, esg etc as she discovered a heart murmur but another dr took over her shift and said he couldn't hear anything and he didn't do any tests just sent him home, so now he has an echocardiogram on fri and i dont know what to think any1 any advice as to what it could be? also dont know if this makes a difference but he is constantly hungry and very very active.

Hello there, this must be a worrying time for you.
I have no advice for you apart from keep your appointments and the best of luck getting a diagnosis.

My daughter also had a heart murmur and I was told to look for signs of blue lips and hands. I would say the best thing to do is to contact your doctor regarding this, if he does have a murmur then it should be looked in to.

Su-jok acupuncture may help.
