Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 2 month old baby boy and he has had breath holding episodes since birth. We have been to the children's hospital and they have conducted many tests. Every test is inconclusive and they have nothing to help us with. He usually has 2 to 3 episodes a day. Can you give us some insight into this problem?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Breath holding spells are usually self limiting. If the detailed investigation has not revealed anything significant then there is no cause for concern. Identifying the precipitating factor and avoiding it is all that is required.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
