4 month old struggling to breathe from birth. When do I worry?

My youngest was born at the end of November and ever since he's been having trouble breathing and is very rattly. I've had him checked by a doctor twice and she tells me not to worry. But a couple of times he's choked and I've needed to clear his air way. The GP said not to worry about it unless he stopped breathing. But I am worried. He sleeps a lot and I can hear his every breath it's that loud. Twice over the weekend I've had to clear his airway to stop him choking.

Any advise?

About "The Rash", when I was about 20 I had a menigitis type rash, but was completely well otherwise. The doctors never really said what caused it, just said probably a virus (like they always say)
You are definately right though, they should treat every rash as suspect, until shown otherwise...awful mistakes could be made if they didn't.
