About "Dysautonomia"

Dysautonomia is a group of disorders that result in failure of the sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS helps in maintaining a constant internal temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, and also regulates pupil dilation, sexual arousal, and excretion. The common symptoms of dysautonomia are dizziness, chest pain, hypotension, digestive tract problems, nausea, weakness, fatigue, frequent urination, disturbed visual field, tremors, etc. The most common types of dysautonomia are:

• Neurocardiogenic syncope.
• Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
• Multiple system atrophy.
• Autonomic dysreflexia.
• Baroreflex failure.
• Diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
• Familial dysautonomia.

Depending on the type, treatment usually involves physiotherapy, exercise therapy, counseling, and lifestyle changes.
