? pallid breath hold: Some children get a shock like event that causes them to go limp, stop breathing, look very pale, then suddenly recover to normal. This may be from minor injury or startle. Eegs are normal, and the child is otherwise normal. Fairly common problem, and usually they outgrow it with age. May develop migraine events when older. Discuss this with your doctor.
