Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When my nine-year-old son sleeps he s breathing so fast and heavy this just started and where does my so much that I stay up all night watching him breathe I feel like he might just stop breathing all together is it normal for that or do you think there s something wrong
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should work out for this. My advice is to consult a pediatrician. You go through chest X-ray posterior-anterior view. If it is normal then a CT chest and colonoscopy is helpful. Walking is the best exercise. Yoga and meditation will increase his lung strength.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
