i'm sorry to hear of your husband's health problems. it's difficult when they begin to stack up like that. several things could cause your husband's ears to turn purple when he lies down. the most likely thing is a lack of oxygen due to congestive heart failure. you might see if propping up his head and back on extra pillows makes the purple ears go away. this is something you should talk to your husband's doctor about. because it started happening recently your husband's doctor will want to know about it. i suggest you call for an appointment. hope this helps! take care.
my husband ears are turning purple when he laids down. what can cause this? . my husband had a stroke in 2007. lung surgery in 2010 to remove fluid. in 2011 he had a defiblalator put in. he had several congested heart faluire after his stroke in 2007. but just all of a sudden this week his ears started turning purple when he would lay down. he also has hepatitis c. thank you dorothy h
