Sometimes: Sometimes. Mostly not. If you do not have episodes of apnea (not breathing), are not excessively sleepy during the day, are not obese, you're probably ok.

R/O OSA: R/O OSA : Excess snoring/daytime sleepiness/apneic episodes/ aM headaches. And the Exam obesity/small oral airway/collar size>18. The definitive test is a PSG with split night/CPAP titration. I would request copy of sleep study and get a second opinion if you are not satisfied with the options. You are young CPAP can be difficult to tolerate. ENT FOR UPP. Also allergy and sinus evaluation.
