So I have quite large lips, and they are always the first to go blueish purple even when I'm just comfortably cold. It's just been this weird thing that happens. Their normal colour are already a reddy purple. Oddly enough the same thing happens with the tips of my ears.
During breathholds people have noticed the same thing happening to my lips and ears, and they worry that I'm close to blackout. Is this a definite sign of hypoxia? Or do the signs vary from person to person? As far as symptoms go, apparently partners will notice the blue ears and lips even before I've had any contractions, or I'll show the signs even after a quite comfortable dive.
