What Causes Legs Turning Blue And Lightheadedness While Showering?

My 17 year old daughter's legs turn blue (dark like bruising) when she showers. She has also gotten lightheaded several times while showering. The blue coloring goes away within 3-5 minutes after she gets out of the shower. She has also had a few times where her legs, hands and chest turned blue during sports activity. She has asthma and a slight heart murmur too. We did have heart tests done, and everything came back "fine". Is this something we should worry about?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms given here suggestive of some heart disease but as you said that test done and that turned normal, but you did not mentioned which test being done, complete cardiac evaluation is must, she might be developing cyanosis (Not exactly ) I think she has to be seen at that time only to confirm what exact happens when she gets shower, hope this information helps you have good day.
