You don't THINK you have sleep apnea... but you should find out for sure; I actually knew someone who died from it - stop breathing in her sleep and just didn't wake up.
It's a simple enough test - you take an oximeter home, wear it on your finger when you sleep, take it back to the hospital/clinic the next day, they check the readings.
I had it... got the CPAP machine... wore that for a few months, but it helped me get a WAY better sleep and have more energy, so I lost 30+ pounds, and no longer had the sleep apnea.
Seriously, see a sleep therapist. Last thing you want is to be dozing off behind the wheel and wreck your Kia.
