Hello,
The bluish purple skin discoloration means either you are suffering with some internal bleeding or specific type of anemia. Kindly get a holter monitoring done to evaluate intermittent atrial flutter or any other arrhythmia.
Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
