Cause

The lips lose their rosy lustre and appear cyan, lavender or purplish purple. If the lips appear cyanosis for a long time, modern medicine calls it "purple", which indicates that your heart may have problems. In the long run, you should go to the hospital for examination. Some respiratory diseases can also have a lack of luster and ruddy changes in the lips. The cyanosis of the lips is a sign of blood stasis in the lips, which is more common in heart failure, pulmonary heart disease, and vascular embolism. Common ones are: spleen and yang deficiency; cold and yin deficiency; phlegm and obstruction of lung; qi stagnation and blood stasis.

The Chinese medicine of the lips is called "purpura", which is a sign of hypoxia or drug poisoning in the body. Often accompanied by a complexion of dark red or light blue, chest tightness is not comfortable or when there is a panic and shortness of breath and other symptoms.

Symptoms of heart attack: chest compressions may cause pain and may radiate to the neck and jaw, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sweating, pale or purplish lips, pale and bruising skin. Loss of consciousness, etc.

Differential diagnosis

"Diagnostic criteria for chronic pulmonary heart disease", patients with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, other pulmonary or chest vascular disease, resulting in pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular enlargement or right heart dysfunction, such as jugular vein engorgement, hepatomegaly Great tenderness, cerebral regurgitation, lower extremity edema, and venous hypertension, etc., and have the aforementioned electrocardiogram, X-ray findings, and then refer to ECG vector, echocardiography, pulmonary impedance, blood flow map, lung function or other tests Can make a diagnosis.

First, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease)

Pulmonary heart disease and coronary heart disease are more common in the elderly, there are many similarities, and often two diseases coexist. Coronary heart disease has typical angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction or electrocardiogram. If there is a history of left heart failure, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, it is more helpful to identify. Physical examination, X-ray and electrocardiogram showed signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, which can be identified. There are more difficulties in the identification of pulmonary heart disease with coronary heart disease. The medical history, physical examination and related heart and lung function tests should be examined in detail.

Second, rheumatic heart valve disease

Rheumatic heart disease tricuspid valve disease should be differentiated from relative tricuspid regurgitation of pulmonary heart disease. The former often has arthritis. The history of rheumatoid arthritis and myositis. Other valves such as mitral and aortic valves often have lesions. X-ray, electrocardiogram, and echocardiography have special manifestations.

Third, primary cardiomyopathy

The disease is mostly heart-thickening, no history of chronic respiratory disease, no X-ray findings of pulmonary hypertension.
