Is it an unhealthy sign if a child snores?

Question by El Hombre de los Libros: Is it an unhealthy sign if a child snores?
My 10 year old sons snores like a bear...a BIG bear. He really gets cranking when he is on his back, but he also snores on his side and stomach. My wife has noticed that he also has some sleep apnea. That is because he stops snoring, and breathing for about three to five seconds. Then he gets loud again. What can be done to resolve this problem.
Thanks everyone.

Talk to his pediatrician about this. He will likely recommend having a sleep study done to diagnose what is going on, and if he confirms a diagnosis of sleep apnea, will recommend a device that can help him breathe at night to make sure his airways do not ever close for dangerously long periods of time.
