Can You Tell About Sleep Apnea Treatment Option?

My doctor had a home sleep test done on me due to sleep apnea suspictions. After the test he said I stopped breathing 33 times in one hour 11 of which I quit breathing for over 3 minutes at a time remaining 22 were under 3 minutes. Out of a 6 hour sleep study I quit breathing 160 times.He put me on oxegen while I sleep is this normal kind of treatment for my condition? Do you recommend that I do anything else?
