Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder that disrupts your breathing while you sleep—often without you even realizing it.

Sleep Apnea: Restoring Restful Sleep Through Expert Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment

Sleep apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder that disrupts your breathing while you sleep—often without you even realizing it. Left untreated, it can contribute to chronic fatigue, poor concentration, heart disease, and other major health issues. But with the right care, restful, restorative sleep is possible.

At Premium Healthcare, we offer comprehensive sleep apnea evaluation and treatment in Miami and South Florida. Whether you’re struggling with snoring, daytime exhaustion, or waking up gasping for air, our experienced team is here to help you breathe easier and sleep better.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to over a minute and may occur dozens or even hundreds of times each night.

There are three main types:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – the most common form, caused by a physical blockage of the airway
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) – the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles controlling breathing
Complex/Mixed Sleep Apnea – a combination of both OSA and CSA

While OSA is most frequently diagnosed, all types of sleep apnea require proper evaluation and care.

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because the symptoms appear while you sleep or may be mistaken for general fatigue. Common signs include:

Loud or persistent snoring
Waking up choking or gasping
Pauses in breathing during sleep (often noticed by a partner)
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Morning headaches
Irritability or mood swings
Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking

If these symptoms interfere with your daily life, it’s time to get evaluated.

Who Is at Risk?

Sleep apnea can affect anyone, but certain factors increase risk:

Excess weight or obesity
Male gender (though women can be affected too, especially post-menopause)
Age 40+
Large neck circumference or narrow airway
Smoking
Family history of sleep apnea
Use of alcohol, sedatives, or tranquilizers
Nasal congestion or chronic sinus issues

Identifying risk factors early can lead to quicker diagnosis and better outcomes.

Sleep Apnea Diagnosis at Premium Healthcare

We begin with a thorough consultation to assess your symptoms, medical history, and risk factors. If sleep apnea is suspected, we may recommend:

Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) – a convenient, at-home diagnostic option using wearable sensors
Referral for In-Lab Sleep Study (Polysomnography) – a more comprehensive overnight test in a sleep center

Our providers will interpret your results, determine the type and severity of sleep apnea, and develop a custom treatment plan based on your needs.

Effective Treatment Options

Sleep apnea treatment aims to restore normal breathing during sleep and improve your quality of life. We offer and coordinate the following:

1. CPAP Therapy

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard for treating moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It delivers constant air pressure through a mask, keeping your airway open throughout the night.

2. Lifestyle Changes and Weight Management

In many cases, weight loss and lifestyle adjustments can significantly reduce sleep apnea symptoms. We provide:

Nutritional counseling
Sleep hygiene coaching
Exercise guidance
Smoking cessation support

3. Oral Appliance Therapy

Custom-fitted dental devices can reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open—ideal for those with mild to moderate OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP.

4. Surgical Referrals

In rare or severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered to remove or reshape airway-blocking tissue. We coordinate referrals to trusted ENT specialists when needed.

Why Treating Sleep Apnea Matters

Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including:

High blood pressure
Heart disease and arrhythmias
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Depression and anxiety
Impaired immune function
Increased risk of accidents due to fatigue

The good news? Effective treatment can significantly lower these risks and help you feel more energized, focused, and emotionally balanced.
