Newbie here needing some insight

I am new to this and was wanting anyones insight. I just got my results from my sleep study and my AHI index was 106/hr. I am waiting on the company to come out to my house now and I am wondering what questions do I need to ask and what to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
