my ds (3yrs) has recently had a couple of breath holding attacks where he has had a tantrum then passed out -momentarily - after holding his breath. he goes slightly blue around the lips and his eyes roll up and he goes limp in my arms. recovers extremely quickly and then plays well again after a cuddle.
Sounds really dramatic but actually it happened both times when others were present and they didn't notice the full extent of what happened. ie. didn't see that he had actually lost consciousness.
anyone else had this and when might I expect it to stop.. soon I hope!
