What Causes Blue Discoloration Of The Skin While Treating Bronchitis And Pleurisy?

hello, i have pleaurisy and have had this for many years ever since i was a kid. lately i have been coughing up blood and have contracted bronchitis. my skin has turned more blue shaded although it has always been tinged purple for as long as i can remeber. i need some advice on what to do because i dont know if it could be caused by TB since ive never have been tested for it and a lot of the symptoms are related to my diagnosis
