Welcome to The Florida Center of Sleep Medicine

Sleep apnea is defined as a disorder characterized by a pause of breathing and airflow during sleep. With there being three types of sleep apnea, obstructive, central and mixed, studies have shown sleep apnea can be a potentially life-threatening condition. According to the National Institute of Health there are more than twelve million people in the United States that are affected by sleep apnea. Leaving the condition untreated can lead to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches while also affecting your everyday life.
