UARS -- easily detected / treated?

Posted by Sleepy Time Time on June 03, 2004 at 20:02:36:

Spmeone asked about Upper Airway Resistence Syndrome, so I thought i would start a new thread.

I have heard different POVs on this, but it's been a year or so since I heard anything new on this. One nurse / sales rep at a equipment supplier told me that a person can be on Cpap for apnea, but if they also have UARS, and it is not being treated, they will still experience excessive sleepiness

Others have said that UARS is actually a more minor disorder than apnea, and that if you are being treated for apnea, you needent worry about UARS

What is the latest on this? Will a standard sleep study also detect UARS in addition to apnea? I recall one machine being specifically geared to UARS. Is that legit, does anyone know?
