I have a room I have painted 3 times and the drywall swells up and looks bad. I have sanded and it looked good till I painted it and it did it again. How do I get it to quit doing this?

The joints may not be smooth enough before painting run your finger tips across them anything you can feel will show up big when painted.
If the drywall is swelling up it sounds like a moisture problem to me and not from the paint but from behind the drywall or needing a dehumidifier for your home (after all, Florida is humid). It would be best to call a professional in case it's water damage from behind the wall which can cause a mold problem.
