ADHD in Children

ADHD is commonly misdiagnosed with Sleep Disordered breathing in children as both share similar symptoms.

Children with Sleep Disordered breathing frequently complain of morning headaches, are hyperactive during the day and avoid going to sleep until significantly tired. Often they tend to move their legs at night, sleep with mouth open, and even snore. In rare instances, breathing stops can be observed.

It is our scope to provide comprehensive consultations for both children and adults seeking treatment for sleep disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea associated disorders.
