What Causes Shortness Of Breath, Blue Lips And Incontinence?

Hi my mother has parkinson disease/ dementia and heart failure she has recently been complaining of a spongy feeling under foot. Also she has had at least four occasions in which she struggles to breath turns blue around the lips becomes very weak and wets herself. I have reported this to our local GP and her mental health team all of whom seem puzzled she is due to see her neurologist next month but today she has said she is getting a very cold feeling down her body and a feeling of fluid trickling in her head

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

i understand your concern.

Blue lips means cynosis and cynosis need to evalute in detail.

Blue lips plus she struggles in breathing then respiratory illness or obstruction is most likely.

Cynosis require immediate medical assistance. It is occur due to decrease oxygen saturation in blood.

So do consultation to physician as early as possible and get help.

Take neurologist or psychiatrist opinion there after but 1st priority is to consult physician for medical problems.

I hope i have answered your query.


Thank you.
