My 19-month-old son barely breathes while sleeping with heart racing. What is the cause?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I got your concern. As blood pressure remains high with abnormal values in the report, it may indicate kidney problems with possible vitamin D deficiency. I need more history and workup for comments. Kindly connect online for more concerns. Thank you.

I have gone through the attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks like vitamin D deficiency but I need your detailed history and concerns. Please write your story in detail. So it may help me. I am waiting for your reply.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I got your concern. It is looking like nutritional deficiencies only. You need to give vitamin D, vitamin B12, and an iron-rich diet. Have regular monitoring of weight and plot it on a growth chart. He needs to have an assessment on development every three months. At this 19 months of age, little incoordination is expected. For blood pressure, I must say we need multiple measurements to confirm that it is high. Sometimes when a baby cries at the time of taking blood pressure, it gives a false high value. As long as the baby is gaining weight, he develops well and remains playful and active. There is nothing to be worried. Thank you.
