CPAP machine will help you to overcome obstructive sleep apnea but it is not a treatment for snoring. You need to reduce your weight by regular exercise and diet which will basically cure your problem. Medicines are not of any use

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
