HI
Well come to HCM
This is not just because of the sleep apnea but systemic disease need to be ruled out too, if you have enlarged tonsils then this required treatment accordingly, second anxiety and depression, once the underlying cause found then this need to be managed accordingly, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
