What Causes Heavy Breathing At Night?
My 12 year old son was born diagnosed with strydor. Recently, he sounds as though he is breathing heavily through the night. He has not been diagnosed with asthma & I am currently using a humidifier. Do you feel I should take him to a pulmonologist to have some testing, or perhaps to an ENT (maybe it is his adnoids) , he says that he has difficulty breathing throug his nose alot of the time ? What do you think? Thank You.

Hello,
Definitely, he has some blockage in the airway, whether it may adenoid, nasal polyps, tonsillar hypertrophy. So visit ENT doctor to rule out same. It may later lead to sleep apnea syndrome. If your baby is obese, then it may to obesity also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
