my son is 15 months old and since he was 6 weeks he has breathing episodes were he stops breaths or struggles and his lips go blue. i have taken him to a&e many of times and he has been kept in for observations most of the time. He was then refered to a peadiatric consultant who has given him a blue inhaller and beclametasone a brown steroid one which to some extent has controled it a bit. he is still bad on a night with wheezyness and i have noticed that throughout the day some times his lips go dark blue too this is especially so whilst swimming and while he is active if he is running about and this happens and his lips are blue he goes really quiet and kneels on the floor with his head down he is also not cold. i am getting quiet worried about what this may be now any ideas? thanks
Hi, I understand your concerns, but this is either a severe form of asthma or it could be due to a cardiac problem. I suggest that you get an echocardiogram done to detect any cardiac problem present. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
