If you experience three or more of the symptoms above, you show symptoms of sleep apnea, a life-threatening disorder which causes you to stop breathing during your sleep, possibly several hundred times a night, or another type of sleep-disordered breathing problem.

A sleep evaluation will help to determine your condition and the right treatment needed. Once diagnosed, these problems can often be treated quickly and easily. Treatment will not only improve your quality of life, but also increase your life expectancy.
