Sleep Apnea and Tonsillitis problem

2025-12-19 18:42:45
How to treat sleep apnea (best option) and Tonsillitis problems? I am 39.5 years old male. Will Sleep Apnea create other problems if not treated early? Please provide more details. I think I got Sleep Apnea genetically as my father (60 yrs old) also has. Should we treat his first as he recently undergone heart surgery (inserted a stunt). Please advise. Thanks
