Lips a little blue sometimes

[Ironman404]

So I've noticed this probably a dozen times before. Sometimes when I'm lifitng the corners of my lips turn s light shade of blue. They return to normal immediately upon stopping. Obviously this has to do with a lack of o2...but is it worrisome?

I think my breathing while lifting is not always perfect...I will catch myself not exhaling sometimes. Is it just the same effect as holding your breath? Face gets red, lips change color, etc.?

I had a full cardio workup about 12 months ago...echo, stress, blood work, ecg, etc. All normal.

The only reason I bring this up is because my wife pointed it out today at the gym and I'm a fucking hypochondriac lol.

Just for shits n grins, I googled blue lips during /after exercise. Alot of what comes up (not to sound alarming )
But most says ease up, and def see the doc, there's all sorts of things pointing to oxygenation, or some rare occurrence that causes this, "not" all bad, but I'd get checked. Just piece of mind. Good luck, let is know what ya come up with.

Note...


I think this happens particularly during drop sets, super sets, giant sets, etc.
