Heart Valves Are Not Completely Closed
Hello, I am Shafi Ullah Khan, I have a sister and she is 15 years old. She is a heart patient from childhood. She has a minor problem of Heart Valves, they are not completely closed. Due to that heart problem, Her Lips and Nails colour is Dark Blue. We consult to many doctors but there is no good sign of result. We are very worried about her. She has a low resistance against any illness. She got tired very soon. Whenever she walk upstairs or outside home, her whole face turned into Blue shade. She likes Tea very much. I tried to stop her many times but she never stops. Plz give me some good suggestion about her health and diet. Plz also tell me prescription about her.

hi,
your sister need echocardiographic examination and turning of lips and nails blue signifies that she has more than minorproblem . get her checked by good cardiac surgeon. she may be having a correctable abnormality by surgery. give her good diet and good amount of proteins.
