Why Does My Son Experience Fast Breathing And Shaking?
Hi, my 12 year old son has been having the experience of everything being loud and fast in his head. He shakes profusely and breathes quickly; it really frightens him. I've been lying in bed at night with him when it occurs, which seems to help. It has only started a couple of weeks ago. What do you think? Donna

Hi Donna,
shaking profusely and breathing quickly could be signs of epilepsy so I would advise you to consult a neurologist he may do few tests like EEG and CT head if required to confirm diagnosis.
