If your baby is born with pulmonary atresia, symptoms will be noticeable soon after birth. Your baby's signs and symptoms may include:
- Blue- or gray-toned skin (cyanosis)
- Fast breathing or shortness of breath
- Easily tiring or being fatigued
- Feeding problems
When to see a doctor
Your baby will most likely be diagnosed with pulmonary atresia soon after birth. However, if your baby has any symptoms of pulmonary atresia after you've returned home, seek emergency medical attention.
