Sleep apnea is a serious condition that left untreated can lead to
heart disease and stroke. With this disorder, breathing is interrupted
and air is prevented from reaching the lungs. This can lead to snoring,
excessive daytime fatigue and moodiness.
At the comfortable Sleep Apnea Center, your sleep patterns are tracked
overnight, recording valuable information that will lead to a proper
diagnosis and the best course of action for you.
