Why is my tongue blue?

My name is Ashley and I am 13 years old. This morning I woke up with a blue tongue, it looked like I ate a lollipop or something. I searched it up and it says that a blue tongue means that there is a lack of oxygen in my blood and I should see a doctor right away. I'm concerned so are there any others reasons on why my tongue would be blue? I didn't eat anything that was dyed or colored.

You are very smart. A doctor needs to look at it. There are many reasons for discoloration and blood tests may help
