Brief Answer:
Get an echocardiogram done

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Possibly it is not concerning but I would insist you to get an echocardiogram done for for your child. It will help in ruling out cyanotic heart diseases which could be a possible cause for such a presentation.

Please do not get anxious.
