my son has been snoring all night and he’s been having lapses of non breathing. i made research of what is obstructive sleep apnea and his pediatician has diagnose that his tonsils are large. i need an appointment as soon as possible for him. i’m pregnant and i’m due on july 29th, all the clinics i’ve called have appointments until june, july and even september! i cant wait until then i need something faster than that before i give birth. we are tire of not getting any sleep at night, someone please help!
gg83* do u think i’m taking this as if i’m the one tire of not sleeping. i’m concern about my child’s sleep. i’m desperete to find a resolution, he has been like this since december! yes i have an appointment for him at childrens memorial hospital but its until jul 24th, all i’m asking is if someone knows a hospital that can make me an appointment as soon as possible. and i know i’m not ill, i dont sleep at night all i do is change him possitions when he is grasping for air. and if i ask for help in this place is because i think there are some people that really do care and want to help out a mother…

Last night when I was dozing off to sleep I’d suddenly wake up like I hadn’t been breathing for a few seconds. Now, I understand this could be sleep apnea, but it does NOT happen very often-actually this is the first time it’s happened in probably more than 6 months. It gave me anxiety so repeatedly I’d try to fall asleep and the same thing would happen. It could be mild sleep apnea I guess, but I’m thinking it could also just be anxiety. I’ve been under a lot of stress lately and just recently have completely cut out caffeine, changed my diet (better), and started working out. On top of that I’m 5 states away from my family for the next 4 months and it’s really getting to me.

I do have larger than normal tonsils that have caused me throat problems (sickness) in the past but my doctor never recommended taking them out because it hasn’t happened in about 1.5 years.
Tonsils causing obstructive sleep apnea or just anxiety?
I know I need to see a doctor, but anyone have the same issue?
Well I don’t snore, anymore. I used to a little bit now and then but not so much anymore.

I am pretty sure it’s anxiety because my boyfriend tells me he doesn’t notice any odd behavior while I’m sleeping. I’ll probably go to the doctor anyway just to make sure.

Thanks for all your help!!
