Seems like I tick all the symptom boxes of OSA?

I know Reddit is not a substitute for medical advice, but because I have shitty VA care and won’t likely see a doctor for another 5 months, I figured I’d at least ask. Firstly my wife says she does hear me snore and gasp in my sleep, and my jaw hangs open. I find that sleeping 8 hours leaves me absolutely fried like non-functional, which started in the last few years. Back in my military days it was insomnia (slept 2-4 a night, and functioned mostly normal), but now I can’t even focus through the day on less than 10 and I usually default to 12-14 hours of sleep and still feel low energy all the time. I have diagnosed hypertension and proven tachycardia (though the VA said you have this but we don’t know why and don’t care to investigate further).

Just from a standpoint of symptoms how likely does it seem that OSA is something I might have. For reference the military did a send home sleep study on me, but I barely slept, and they ghosted me for weeks, then only when I called said yep seems normal so I suspect either skewed results or negligence.
