Could you show me the pillow and pillow cae and the poe used for CPAP?

These are really optional and not required for CPAP therapy use. There are several options available for cpap pillows and their cases available. Try searching for CPAP pillow in search bar of your browser/search engine. The pole being referred to is for "hose management" during CPAP therapy use. While it is helpful, again it is not required.

How do you get dr to prescribe a cpap?

Any physician (MD or DO) could "prescribe a CPAP." However, it is appropriate to have a "sleep study" performed first. Then the results will be interpreted by a Pulmonologist that specializes in Sleep Therapy. Then that person would determine the appropriate course of therapy, cpap settings, machine type, etc. It is best to see your primary care physician first and have him refer you for sleep study and go from there.

Can cpap really works when you snore a lot?

Yes. One of the primary indications for CPAP therapy is snoring related to apneas. Apnea is the pause in breathing that is taken while trying to intake oxygen. Often times when this occurs, the result is a "snore" and then the patient resumes breathing.

Not usually. Sleep apnea is treated with a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine that delivers pressurized room air to a mask or nasal "pillows". Some CPAP patients may also receive oxygen therapy, but this is unusual.
