Can you use a cpap machine when you need a bipap?

No, because it uses pressure to aid breathing. If two people are connected to one source of pressure, it will either not be enough pressure (assuming both people are breathing in and out in unison) or if one person is breathing in whilst the other out, the pressure will be mis-placed.

Do you need to see a doctor if you cant stop yawning?

Yes, and the sooner the better. You could possibly have sleep apnea, a condition that prevents a person from getting to the deep "REM" stage of sleep. Ask your doctor for a "sleep study," and if an apnea (an interruption of sleep where the pallet temporarily closes off the airway to the lungs) is diagnosed, there is a simple non-surgical treatment available: using a C-PAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) machine, which keeps that pallet airway open all night long. I've been a user of a C-PAP for almost three years now and absolutely love this machine. Mine has a humidifier attached (uses distilled water) for those times when the ambient air is too dry. Most insurance companies will pay for such a medical device.
