Ds 6 has been deep breathing every 20 seconds for over 3 weeks, been to GP and out of hours and currently waiting to see out of hours GP at 8.30!
He is fine within himself, no wheezy chest, no temp, asthma seems controlled (on highest medication blue and brown inhalers, antihistamine 30ml and daily dose of 8mg monteelukast and 5mg of prednisolone) Ds also has multiple anaphlaxis allergies.
He's been like this for 3 weeks however today his grandfather collected him from school and had to rush him home and give emergency dose of blue inhaler 10 X 100mg, he got better but still deep breathes, when you ask him why he does it he says he has too... He even does it in his sleep, sitting or playing, every 20 seconds... I've recorded it now over several days as we we're waiting for his asthma clinic appointment. His peak flow is 200.
As I said he is FINE, within himself and speaks in full sentences his stomach is fine, his oesophagus does go in but not overly, other than this deep breathing and the school incident he is well within himself...
I just need to understand what's bloody going on with him... As when we do take him to GP, they see that's he's fine... But can't explain his breathing.
