Sleep apnea?: Sleep apnea happens mostly when you’re ASLEEP. The fact that is doesn’t happen during the day may be irrelevant. You need to see a doctor to diagnose

Need clarity: Nasal congestion does not cause sleep apnea, and you are a bit young to have it. But if you have problems with nasal congestion, and respiratory consequences, you could find an allergist or otolaryngologist to evaluate underlying issues. Sleep apnea question could be answered via overnight sleep study.
