Question
My heart rate reaches 140 during play and exceeds 160 when running, and I also have blue lips. What could be the problem?
Answer
Your heart rate may be elevated during exercise and accompanied by blue lips. It is recommended that you undergo an ECG examination to determine your heart function. If necessary, a coronary angiography may be required to check for coronary artery disease. Treatment can include medication such as nitroglycerin, Lipitor, and aspirin, as well as sublingual administration of nitroglycerin. In daily life, it is advised to rest, avoid overexertion and emotional stress to promote recovery.
