Dysautonomia
Dysautonomia is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. This dysfunction can lead to a variety of symptoms, often impacting multiple systems in the body. Dysautonomia may occur on its own or as part of other conditions, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or diabetes. Because symptoms vary widely, diagnosis can be challenging and may require specialized tests.
