Hi Doctor,


I don't know if I am posting in the right place, however I have a question and I hope you can help.
I have a daughter she is 3 years and 5 months, recently she started snoring at night and it is just minutes after she falls a sleep and also I have noticed dark lines under her eyes.   She is a healthy child with no medical issues.
How can I help this to go away?

You have a complicated medical history, so it's hard to say exactly what's going on. I think that anyone with fibromyalgia should be screen for obstructive sleep apnea. If you have underlying obstructive sleep apnea, then taking any medication that relaxes your muscles can aggravate the breathing pauses. I would consider undergoing a sleep study.
