Patient's question:
Why didn't he cry hard when he had that feeling of not being able to catch his breath, just like shortness of breath, but the frequency was very slow and frightening. Every time it happened after crying, and occasionally, please let the experts give some guidance and analysis. It's only been 80 days, what could this be?Doctor's answer:
Infant breath-holding spells Some babies may experience breath-holding during sudden emotional changes such as anger, fear, sadness, and severe pain. Symptoms include apnea (breath-holding), bluish lips, and rigid limbs. In severe cases, they may even faint or lose consciousness. The episode usually lasts 0.5 to 1 minute, then symptoms subside.When a baby has a breath-holding spell, parents should remain calm and composed. Use a gentle tone and provide ample care and comfort. Avoid scolding harshly, as prolonged breath-holding can lead to hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) in the brain, potentially affecting the development of the nervous system.
