Pathological Sleeping Disorder.
I am getting a loud snoring while sleeping. Recently I have consulted a doctor and he has suggested to undergo a sleep study. Now I have completed the sleep study. The result suggests that I have an AHI of 11.3 and RI of 15.3. Kindly share the treatment method for this disorder and expected treatment period to cure this issue.
Thanks
