Re: Lower average pressure with AirSense 11 Autoset

I don't know if this will have any bearing on this, but the AS11 has 3 mode settings...CPAP, AUTOSET and AUTOSET FOR HER. The AS10 had only 2. Make sure you are not set to AUTOSET FOR HER.

Re: Anti Snoring blanket

It does not cure Sleep Apnea. Even a CPAP does not cure Sleep Apnea. It "treats" sleep apnea. You may stop snoring but if you have sleep apnea....you will still have it while you use the blanket.

Re: Lifelong Necessity or Temporary Measure?

The CPAP treats...it doesn't cure. You have low AHI numbers because you are using the CPAP. If you stop using it your AHI may be back to where it was before using the CPAP.

Re: is the myair app accurate

There are 2 different calculations...The MyAir considers all leaks while the machine only considers large leaks. Both are accurate.

Re: 2 cpap machines

If you are comparing your Philips to the Resmed MyAir, they are not calculated the same. The MyAir is counting all leaks while I believe the Philips is counting only large leaks.

Re: CPAP making things worse

What restrictions? The insurance company is only concerned that you use the machine they paid for. If you don't use it you have to return it or pay for it. I don't think that is unrealistic.

Any standard or slimline hose should fit. Only heated hoses are unique to the specific machine. The standard hoses are available all over ..CVS, Amazon, etc
