You need to consult a sleep specialist. You may have sleep apnea and if so, that cause cause other health issue.

Presume these results come from an overnite sleep study. Would classify this as consistent with severe sleep apnea and would recommend treatment. However, you and your doctor need to discuss the results and the next steps.
