Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Asenath does the same thing sometimes. She gets very breathless and you can hear her breathe across the room. Sometimes it is accompanied by stridor and tachycardia. One of the problems that is occurring is that she is unable to do any type of physical activity without coughing and then the vomiting issue falls into play. That is why pulmonary issues are also being pursued as well as GI issues. More than anything I just want to know what the cause is. And if it is fixable, that would be so great. I am sure you understand that! Darla: mommy to: Asenath (4) Mito, CNS Vasculitis, strokes, migraines, seizures, G-tube, hypotonicity, disautonomy,SID, dev. delays, asthma Zipporrah (7 mon.)
