What Causes Purple Discoloration Of Lips While Swimming In An Adolescent?

My daughter is 16 years old and she swims competitively on a regular basis. She often gets her lips purple even in training, but recently she started craping up too, her hands curl up. What could be the reason for it. Is there anything that we can do to help her?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
Well you should do some cardiologist and pulmonary tests since this may be signwif hipoxemia which is reduced oxygen concentration in blood and this may indicate some heart issues so ultrasound of heart and ecg should be done for a start.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
