Could Red Dots Around Cheeks And Eyes Be Related To Holding Of Breath For A Long Time?
My son held his breath at school today for a long period of time. Now he has red dots all around his checks and under his eyes. What caused this and should I be concerned about the long term effects for his brain from him doing this today (he and another kid were competing- who could hold their breath the longest).

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
There is no relation for appearance of red dots and holding breath.
Holding breath for long time doesn't have any deleterious effect on the brain.
There won't be any immediate or long term effects.
you need not worry.
Hope this reply serves your purpose.
