Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Difficulty in breathing while asleep needs to be evaluated for possible regurgitation of oral contents as saliva into upper respiratory tract.
I would suggest to let her sleep with 30-40 degree head end elevation of the bed and consult after 3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
