4 year old daughter with Apnea?

4 year old daughter with Apnea?

My 4 year old daughter had a sleep study done 2 nights ago. I havent heard from dr yet and am very nervous. The sleep tech said that my daughter did stop breathing during the night from 10-12 sec. sometimes longer. she also told me that her oxygen level went down to 94%. Is this normal sleep? Now I can't sleep because I am watching my child all night. She grinds her teeth and moves her legs alot. Sometimes I have to stimulate her breathing by touching her during the night. Please tell me how worried I should be about this. Thanks

It is understandable that you are very nervous waiting to hear from the doctor about the results of your daughter

Two of my children at the ages of 2 and 3 had to have their tonsils removed because of sleep apnea.

Tonsils were very enlarged and swollen obstructing airflow. They would stop breathing sometimes for about 30 seconds at a time.

How are her tonsils?

Had her tonsils and adnoids checked and they were both normal size.. on a scale of 1 to 4 her tonsils were a 2 1/2 adnoids looked normal.. I heard the only 2 reasons for sleep apnea were enlarged tonsils or adnoids or neurological..any info would help
