What Causes Difficulty In Breathing?
Hi, I have an 8 year little girl and today I witness an episode of her having a hard time breathing. We were getting ready for school and she was putting on her jacket when she yelled "mommy, I can't breath it's squishing me" It only last a few seconds but this is the 3rd episode in 3 weeks and and 2 of them happend in daycare. We went to the doctors today and he didn't seem to find anything irregular since she was back to normal in a few seconds but he did find a heart murmur.
What could this be?

Hello,
As you mentioned, your doctor found some heart murmur on examination. It could a case of congenital or acquired heart disease. It requires Echocardiography to confirm the diagnosis also functional heart murmur is present in severe anemia so get a CBC done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
