I sleep fine

So, I was getting my documentation together for an upcoming 2nd class renewal, and noticed that my (VA) doc included a surprise note in my last check-up that I had mild OSA and that CPAP was not needed.
I can only assume this came about because I had mentioned I had a sleep study done almost 10 years ago. I was in the army in Japan, working nights, having trouble maintaining a sleep schedule, and the mil docs sent me off to a local off-base clinic for a study. I recalled being told there were a few blips in my study but overall was not diagnosed with apnea. Unfortunately this sleep study is nowhere in my records that I can find. There is also nothing else in my records that suggests I have OSA.
I've never used or needed a CPAP. Is this random little note going to throw a huge wrench into the works and require all kinds of FAA-mandated exams? I'm very close to finally finishing up my CPL(have to renew the medical to continue part 141 under GI Bill) and will be real upset if this makes me stop my training again now that I'm on a roll.
