Can high blood pressure cause blue lips?

Yes. Blue lips are a common symptom of high blood pressure. When the heart contracts, it squeezes blood through the arteries and the force of the squeezing can push blood into vessels near the surface of the skin. This can cause some people to have blue lips, especially if they have fair skin. Other symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor right away. High blood pressure is a serious condition that can lead to heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
