Someone mentioned this ...what is SBD?
SDB = Sleep Disorder Breathing. SDB includes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), complex sleep apnea (CompSA), Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) when it occurs at night), and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS).

If you mean SDB, SDB = sleep disordered breathing.
