Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter who is 3 sometimes has a flutter in her breathing when she gets all worked up, like after running around. Initially the MDs had thougt it was a case of tracheomalacia and would improve as grew. So, when the condition persisted at age 1, a barium swallow was done but results were inconclusive. The flutter sound, although infrequent, still continues and is the same - has not changed, worsened or improved. It doesn t happen all the time during regular breathing so replicating the condition in an office setting is difficult. What could the issue possibly be?
I would like to tell you that he might have the tendency of hypertension and dyslipidemia genetically, so it’s recommended for you to get done lipid Profile and Stress Echo for proper evaluation for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
