Respiration
For parents, caregivers, health care providers, and teachers, concerns and questions often arise regarding the care and well-being of individuals with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
How do the respiratory problems come about? What are they? Do they remain or can they come and go? How much trouble does a child or adult experience? How harmful (or not) are they? Is there medication? Are problems with breathing during the day and at night always the same?
Recommendation(s)
Respiration
- R11
- It should be explained to caregivers that spells of hyperbreathing, despite being disturbing to witnesses, are unlikely to be harmful.
