excerpted from medhelp;
Low oxygen content of the blood can cause blue lips. This can be due to low counts or due to problems with oxygenation of the blood. It would be interesting to know what your blood oxygen saturation is during the episodes. Do they last for very long? If so then your brother may have time to come over to your house to check with a saturation monitor (many EMTs have this equipment). If it is low then your doctor would have to look for sources of low oxygen such as blood clots, sickle cell disease or other hemoglobin abnormalities. A hematologist could check for these various disorders.

As I've been saying for many years, I'm worried about VICE President Clinton.
Think of it:
Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
The Glorious Hillary! Decade begins
Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
At the end of the Glorious Hillary! Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
By the time the National Emergency is over all the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......
Just as an aside, with the Clinton's well known love of 'ethnics', Obama is very expendable, isn't he?
How kind of you!
It HAS gotten better. Thanks.
Tough times never last.
Tough people do...
Durn tootin’!
Take care.
I shall.
Now it's your turn. ;)
I don't know why when I hear anything having to do with ed, I think of Bob Dole. It is a real shame he stumped those meds.
I hope you’re right...we’ll see.
I seem to recall some national politician during a debate or speech or something and a physician watching on T.V. noticed something and called his campaign folks, etc. Turned out it was a medical issue. Probably within the last 20 years?
You are ignorant.
I’m telling you...I never fail to laugh at that picture every time I see it.
“Ridiculous. The poster needs to grow up”
It is very noticeable and I have wondered about it myself. But he looks like a very healthy guy otherwise so I assume it’s nothing
Best answer on this thread.
His lips are the same color as every North African I’ve ever seen. Is there less oxygen in North Africa?
I’ve wondered the same thing for a few months now. I think the question is legitimate. If he had any siblings with the same genes, it might answer the question, but so far as I know he has only the one half-sister through his mother. I take it there are others on his father’s side. Purple/blue lips are not common. Do any of his siblings have the same feature?
That is my worst nightmare—a decade of Hillary!
No wonder Bill Buckley decided to check out.
