Not from my doctors. I asked. They said that an auto-PAP is not the first choice. A CPAP is a better choice, if it will work for you at the pressures you need.

Not from my doctors. I asked.
They said that an auto-PAP is not the first choice. A CPAP is a better choice, if it will work for you at the pressures you need. But they only work up to certain levels of pressure.
An auto-PAP will work to higher levels of pressure, but then it has to continually adjust the levels of pressure that it applies based on the resistance it senses, and that is not as good for you as constant pressure.
And there’s no way a CPAP or auto-PAP is going to wake me up at night, short of causing me to go into an apnea condition and potentially die.
Thank you, but no. I’ll stick with my CPAP.
