<s>[INST] Hi there, my 9 yr old daughter had trouble getting her breath last night eventually I put her to bed and as she relaxed she came right. Tonight the same thing happened. She is not asthmatic and there is no wheezing associated with what happens. She does become a bit anxious as well. Any suggestions Regards Debbie [/INST] Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. This seems to be a voluntary hyperventilation due to anxiety.The symptoms you quote might fit into wheezing, but the thing is it won’t subside by itself like that in few minutes time. Keeping in mind the age and gender of the kid, I feel you should consider hyperventilation and other conversion reaction like symptoms. But I reiterate the fact that this is a diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out all other physical diagnoses.I am considering this diagnosis as the symptoms you quote do not fit perfectly into any known clinical syndrome. I suggest you see your paediatrician.Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed)., </s>
