Dysautonomia is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). A lack of diagnosis can be exhausting, disheartening, and frustrating, only increasing the severity of symptoms and disability.
The brain, operating as a computer, coordinates energy metabolism in all organs, modulating the organisms' response to stress which results in a
complex mixture of sympathetic, parasympathetic and endocrine drive governing behavior and host resistance.
It is postulated that automatic activity in health maintains a balanced state of autonomic neurotransmission with behavioral responses varying according to the physiologic state of either sympathetic or parasympathetic dominance.
A lack of diagnosis can be exhausting, disheartening, and frustrating, only increasing the severity of symptoms and disability.
The sympathetic system is defined as an action system which uses energy (fight or flight, stress moderator, disease fighting system), and the
parasympathetic system is the opposing or balancing force (rest, digestion, cell/body growth).
Autonomic disorders commonly cause dizziness or light-headedness due to an excessive decrease in blood pressure when a person stands (orthostatic hypotension). People may sweat less or not at all and thus become intolerant of heat. The eyes and mouth may be dry. After eating, a person with an autonomic disorder may feel prematurely full or even vomit because the stomach empties very slowly (gastroparesis). Some people pass urine
involuntarily (urinary incontinence), often because the bladder is overactive.
Other people have difficulty emptying the bladder (urine retention) because the bladder is under active.
Constipation may occur, or control of bowel
movements may be lost. The pupils may not dilate and narrow (constrict) as light changes.
