I have a 15 year old that has been diagnosed with this. Just how commen is it in teens. She has a C-Pap and it is set on 7, is that normal or is it high. We are looking into having her toncels removed to help. We went to a Sleep Study Center and I was shocked at the results. She had 134 disturbances and stopped breathing 22 times. The real big question is can a Chimical imbalance play a roll in this? What can we do to help her? Thank you for your responce.
