Answer
Central sleep apnea is a condition where the brain is ceasing to tell the body to breathe for moments at a time while you are sleeping. Central sleep apnea is less common but can still have devastating effects. Some symptoms of central sleep apnea are frequent awakenings, being very tired during the day, and short pauses of breathing once or several times a night. This type of sleep apnea can also be tested for by a polysomnography.
If your daughter has central sleep apnea, you should be interested in the course and you can request MRI. If you are better informed you will be able to make better decisions for your child.
