What Causes Blueness With Breathlessness In A Child?

My nephew is almost 2 yrs old, and when he gets upset he will turn blue and stop breathing for several moments. Is there a name for this problem? The Peds Dr. said that it is normal, But as a family we feel that the child needs to see a specialist because it happens several times a week.

Hello,

Turning blue and stop breathing for moments does not sound good, so I will suggest you see a specialist. First of all, I think a cardio-pediatric can make sure that everything is all right in your case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
