Could you or one of your loved ones be one of the many undiagnosed with a sleep/breathing disorder? It's estimated that 20-25% of all adults do. The majority of patients who suffer from this insidious condition are not even aware there is a problem. They know that they are tired or maybe have been told they snore but have no idea they have episodes of not breathing at night (apnea). Dr Gleave has the training and equipment to help diagnose and treat many of these cases. If the case is more severe he works closely with a sleep physician for referral and CPAP treatment.

The consequences of doing nothing are severe. To deprive your body of the needed oxygen and rest it needs each night is very taxing to your whole system and will substantially decrease your body and minds performance not to mention adding to many other health problems. Such as; depression, hypertension, poor healing, impotence and loss of libido, memory loss, stress to sleep partner, weight gain, increased frequency of urination, acid reflux, and teeth grinding.
