Cyanosis

Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

When someone has cyanosis, the healthcare provider will need more information. Questions may be asked about:

what areas of the body are affected

when the cyanosis started and how often it occurs

whether the cyanosis is related to cold weather, stress, or smoking

if the person has any trouble breathing, or shortness of breath

whether there is any numbness or tingling in the arms or legs

whether the person has any chest pain

other symptoms, such as coughing, weakness, headache, wheezing, fever, chills, weight loss, fast heartbeat, fatigue, pain, or ulcers on the legs

whether the person has any history of heart or lung diseases

what medications the person takes

Though mild cyanosis may be hard to detect, especially in dark-skinned people, severe cases are usually obvious.
