SLEEP APNEA
SLEEP APNEA AFFECTS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES
One of the biggest problems that parents face when it comes to raising their children is sleep disorders, particularly sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is not a joke. In fact, 1 to 4% of children suffer from the sleep disorder.
SIGNS OF SLEEP APNEA IN CHILDREN
If your child is snoring habitually and shows signs of disturbed sleep such as often tossing and turning in bed, long pauses in breathing, and chronic mouth breathing, your child might be suffering from sleep apnea. Children with undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea can experience behavioral, learning, growth, and adaptive problems.
Sleep apnea can also lead to difficulties waking up, headaches that last all day, irritability, and daytime sleepiness. Over the long-term, it can even result in diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular issues. This sleep disorder can be diagnosed by using a sleep apnea home test kit or through a sleep study conducted by a sleep expert.
Based on the results of the sleep study or sleep apnea home test kit, the sleep expert can suggest a treatment to help treat your child’s sleep apnea.
