Does your child snore?  If so, it is important that you know . . . it ISN'T NORMAL.

A child who snores is giving you a message - that he or she may suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea.  If your child does, he or she may also show signs of exhaustion, lack of attention at school and other problems that are life-altering.

There are many forms of Sleep Apnea.  However, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is something we can help your child overcome.

OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) is a common condition affecting up to 10 percent of the population.  Rates of OSA are two to four times higher after the age of 50.  However, OSA does occur in children - even toddlers.   And mild to moderate sleep apnea patients are most likely not screened.  If untreated, sleep apnea can put you at increased risk of developing hypertension, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

In children, OSA leaves them feeling exhausted in the morning and irritated.  It is often diagnosed as ADD or ADHD when it is actually sleep deprivation.  Signs/symptoms in children include:  failure to thrive (weight loss or poor weight gain); mouth breathing; enlarged tonsils and adenoids; problems sleeping and restless sleep; excessive daytime sleepiness; daytime cognitive and behavior problems.
