Should We Be Concerned About Blueish Palms While Suffering From Heart Murmur?

My 14 year old daughter has a heart murmur that so far has caused no problems. She came home from school today with cold, blueish, right hand.......lips or toes were not blue, she was breathing fine and felt fine, the blueish has went away but her hands are still cold, should she go to a after hours clinic today?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
no, going to a clinic will not give an answer. u should go to a ped cardiologist or a children's hospital for evaluation of an itracardiac shunt with 2d Echo or TEE. Depending upon the severity of the shunt if found, they will advise you. in meantime no exercise. May go to school until ur appt.
