The sagging soft palate can cause it in folks say MY age and older--has nothing

to do with the sinuses! But, not in anyone, wcf or nocf, MUCH younger!

Is this a CF doctor you are dealing with? Have they checked her for polyps?

My Dad has sleep apnea they say it is caused from fatty glands in there throat

that causes them to stop breathing through the night. My Dad was tested and he

stopped 92 times in one night they told us he is surprised he has not had a

heart attack by now. He is now on a machine that pumps air in is throat so he

will not stop breathing. It works GREAT but he hates to wear it. It has done

wonders for him because he says now he feels more rested then he ever was

before. Before he would have to take a nape by noontime or he would not make

it

through the rest of the day. My Dad is only 63 years old. I always thought

that

sleep apnea was cause from being over weight. I can't understand how a 22

months

old could possible have sleep apnea. How did they test her for sleep apnea?
