If there are any parents that have babies that have this next time, they have a cry, make sure to breathe in their face breathe in their face blow a puff of air in their face. It helps release them from the cry spell.

Yes my kid had this as a baby and now has seizures at 25. He has been treated as epilepsy but still has seizures. I am trying to figure out if it is PNES

Hello Dr. Omar, we will be headed to a follow up visit with my son’s (he is 21) new neurologist next week, he had one or two seizures two years apart. Went to ER in November when he has last seizure did full neurology work up found tiny 2 flair they said was nothing abnormal. He is currently taking Keppra. We finally have a follow up from November. Can you give me any advice on what questions should be asking? He has been fine since November, but this is all new to us. The Keppra was keeping him up at night, do you suggest any other type of medication that he could take once a day? This is one question I will be asking. Anyhow, just thinking of whatever advice you could offer me would be helpful. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. We can’t believe how long and how hard it is to get into see a neurologist.

Brother my son is just 2.5 months and he is having this breathe holding spells. So whenever he has BHS we pat on his back a bit hard and after few seconds he gets normal.

If you slap them would they be forced to breathe to scream? Genuine curiosity here.

My son is 3.5 months and this happened 2x this week. Is this normal for his age?
