How likely is for someone who's 24, active, fit and healthy to have sleep apnea? (gasping for air in sleep, brain fog, memory & concentration issues)

Sleep apnea: It's not very likely but certainly possible. Sometimes it happens not because of being overweight but rather because of the anatomy of your jaw and throat.

Can occur: Two varieties, obstructive and central, and former may be seen in younger age group. Best way to confirm is by overnight monitored sleep study, and this can be well controlled and even reversed depending on cause. Your conditioning has little to do with whether or not you possess sleep apnea.
