Hello. Welcome to HCM. This symptoms may indicate a reflux but also it can be a respiratory stress disorder or some heart condition. I would advice you to go and visit o good doctor and run some tests on your baby in order to be perfectly sure that he is well and healthy. Acid reflux has vomiting and the symptoms you described are not usual for a baby with reflux.
