Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Megan Scott: toddler snoring has just started?
My sonis asleep and he has just started snoring.I have never heardhim snorebefore. He sweats very easily and is a little overweight even though he is very active. What are the symptoms of sleep apnea? this worries me because my grandfather died in his sleep because of it and both of my parents have it. I know just snoring one night is not a symptom, but i am curious. If it continues and he has other symptoms, i will be sure to take him to the dr. He also does not have a cold so that would not be causing it.

I would mention it to the doctor and let them know your concern. It could be a larger issue and he may need to see an E.N.T (ear, nose and throat) doctor. Better to catch it while he is young.

Ask the person who prescribed the machine!!!!

CPAP machine. My Dr. told me that weight gain was a side affect of sleep apnea because of the stress hormone released when you brain has to constantly wake up all night. If you have the problem under control do you lose weight (with diet and excercise of course).
