I would not recommend just buying one without seeing a doctor and getting a sleep study There's more to it than that. However if you need to go your own route then just google "cpap supplies". Lot's of options.
Gasping for air while you sleep/stopping breathing, snoring, waking up with headaches due to lack of oxygen to the brain, waking up with irregular/racing heartbeat, ALWAYS tired, falling asleep ALL the time...even while driving, elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol.
In addition my tongue was pushing my upper teeth forward while I was trying to sleep in an attempt to open my mouth to breath. If you have sleep apnea, sleeping doesn't mean you actually sleep. You never reach your REM cycle so it becomes a vicious cycle of being tired, trying to sleep, stopping breathing/not sleeping, waking up tired because your body has been fighting itself, rinse and repeat.
These were my symptoms and my experiences. After getting a sleep study they found I had 70 episodes in an hour. An episode means you stop breathing for at least 10 seconds. I had one episode I didn't breath for over 1 minute.
A sleep study saved my life. My quality of life improved leaps and bounds.
You should have a sleep study done to see if you have central sleep apnea. You might
need a bipap machine or even something more advanced. If you need a bipap and you get
a cpap machine it will do you no good and make you feel even worse.

like some of the others said, you need to get a sleep study done first. Don't just buy a machine, plus you don't even know what settings to put it on. The doctor will adjust the machine to your particular apnea.
