[|Human|] Hi my sister in law just had a baby. At one day old he stopped breathing 5 times and one of them times was for 4 minutes. He had low sugar and thought he did this because his sugars came back up to fast. Do you think this is right and will he have any brain damage from it??
[|AI|]  Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Low glucose levels and recurrent apnea (breath hold) is not good for brain. It's something serious. I would recommend you to take a proper pediatrician opinion. It requires complete evaluation for sepsis, inborn error of metabolism and malformations. In the meanwhile, child needs proper NICU monitoring, regular feeds or intravenous fluids. Blood sugar needs to be monitored regularly for next 2 days at least. Also, seizures need to be ruled out. Hopefully this will help you. For further questions, you may send me directly questions. Take care
