[quote=Anonymous]Go see your pediatrician and tell them you have noticed shortness of breath on exertion in your son. The medical term is “dyspnea on exertion” or “exercise induced dyspnea”. It’s one of the many screening questions you have to fill out at every checkup.

I’m an MD, and I don’t know if your son has true dyspnea on exertion, but if you are concerned, it’s time for a work up. I can name about 30 conditions in 30 seconds that could cause shortness of breath on exertion, but it’s useless to mention any of them in a setting like this. It could be mechanical, pulmonary, neurologic, cardiac, hematologic, etc. Don’t listen to anybody who says it could be this or that unless it’s his doctors. Go get it properly worked up if you think he is unusually short of breath. With his history of low muscle tone, the first consideration will be something related to it, but you have to rule out everything. Doctors take this complaint seriously. Among the many more common reasons, there are a few that are rare, but need immediate intervention. [/quote]
