If you're waking up tired and snoring there's a good chance you do have it. Get an appointment with your primary care doctor, they will get a sleep study set up for you, either an at-home one or an in-clinic one depending on your preference. A clinical one is more likely to be conclusive, the at-home one is more convenient. Get this taken care of as soon as possible, untreated sleep apnea can cause a lot of health problems that will only get worse over time.

Yeah wake up not feeling rested enough and often have to nap throughout the day if I'm not at work.

Also wake up often with a sore throat.

I know my snoring is loud enough that it sometimes bothers people sleeping in the same room as me and sometimes people can hear me from outside the room

When my husband got his CPAP machine, all of that was fixed instantaneously. He was snoring at like, 60 dB peak, and was always having to take a nap after work. Now he sleeps silently and rarely if ever has to nap. Don't know anything about a sore throat but I can see how that would happen.
