Upper airway resistant syndrome

What does "Upper airway resistant syndrome" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

Upper airway resistance syndrome is a sleep disorder where the airway becomes narrow, making it hard for air to flow into the lungs while you're sleeping. This can cause you to wake up frequently during the night, often without realizing it. The main symptoms are tiredness during the day and difficulty concentrating, even if you think you've had a full night's sleep. It's similar to sleep apnea, but usually less severe.
