looking for affordable apap machine (newbie)

now im not sure if this sounds like sleep apnea or not

Well, the symptoms are consistent with sleep apnea, but there is no way to tell without a sleep study or at least a CPAP machine.

If you live in or near a place with a high population density you should be able to find a machine on craigslist. Just be sure to understand what kind of machine you're buying and know how to check the run time. Although there's no telling how long a CPAP machine will last, five years is sort of the bench mark. That's roughly 15 000 hours of run time.

A thought...

Now a days with so many places checking for C-19 one of things they do is check blood oxygen levels.

You can get a device to check yours. If it's high, probably no worries. If it's low then you should find out why.

It's a lot cheaper than buying a machine

I bought my last cpap machine used and it was a bargain. However, with hindsight if I had known what to buy my treatment would have been a lot better and I would have felt much better.

Surprisingly simple, to treat Apnea you buy a CPAP and use it. If you don't place action to the suggestions, there's no surprise then that it won't change a thing. Until you add action it's the same ole situation.
