Thankyou, I will take ur advice on board.
There's a long list of medical conditions that's associated with central sleep apnea. In older adults, heart failure is the main one. That would be unusual at your daughter's age, but worth ruling out. There are also various neurologic conditions that can cause central sleep apnea as well. Talk to your sleep doctor and get a neurologist involved.

Central sleep apnea is unusual in young children, but it can occur. Did her sleep study show that she had obstructive episodes as well? What you're describing sounds more like obstructive sleep apnea. Sometimes, if you have both, treating the obstructive part can help the central apneas. Rarely, neurologic conditions can cause central sleep apnea, so maybe seeing a neurologist is an option later if her condition does not improve. Talk to your sleep doctor about it, as he or she knows all the details of the sleep study. Good luck.
