Terrible snoring, has microcephaly, was just wondering if 133bpm is high while sleeping sometimes he breaths rapidly and then slows then goes rapid again, just really worried with everythin that goin on with him at moment he s snorting really loud and fast he s not ill either, thanks

Hi...this classically fits into a condition called obstructive sleep apnea. This variations in his sleeping pattern also depict the same. As of now this high heart rate is not normal for his age. it could be because of his irregular breathing pattern. Other option is that he could behaving a sinus tachycardia or rhythm anomaly in the heart which can be diagnosed only by an ECG.
I suggest to get an ECG and consult your physician.
