He has never snored, but he tosses and turns and needs more sleep than most ppl, and they felt he did not get a deep sleep. I have really shallow breathing all the time, sleep a lot, and have unrefreshed sleep and other symptoms that for years doctors (and I) have just attributed to fibromyalgia. I am hoping some of my symptoms can be alleviated with a Cpap machine and I can get my stress levels down as much as possible.

This could be a huge benefit for you. I've been on CPAP since 1996 and it restored my sanity. Low oxygen levels and chronic sleep deprivation make a person crazy. You might find the fibro symptoms improve, too.
