Question
Why does a 3-year-old girl feel like she’s out of breath when she cries?
Answer
When a baby stops crying suddenly, it could be a symptom of apnea syndrome. This condition typically occurs in infants between 6 to 18 months old, and it happens when the baby becomes highly emotional or experiences pain, causing their breathing to temporarily stop. It is recommended that parents take their baby for an echocardiogram.
