[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding on.  I kept telling the pediatrician what was happening, but child was only diagnosed when he ended up in emergency room.[/quote]

Did he have other symptoms?

My asthmatic kid definitely had a hard time with sleeping than his brother, but he had other symptoms.  Pediatricians are notoriously bad at identifying chronic asthma. [/quote]

No other symptoms we observed.  He really didn't wheeze; just kept struggling more and more to breathe, so didn't present like one would expect.  The first emergency room visit they finally listened to his chest, put an oxygen mask on him and started meds.  The second middle of the night emergency visit and hospitalization,  my doctor father came from out of state to bring me a stethoscope and teach me how to use it.  I also got a peak flow meter and was able to teach my son how to blow into it.

The pediatrician we saw, also a professor at an ivy med school/teaching hospital, had decided it must be night terrors and he would outgrow it.  I'm just putting all this here in case it's helpful to anyone reading.[/quote]
