What is Dysautonomia?

1/5/2023

0 Comments

 
Dysautonomia is the inability of the autonomic nervous system to regulate itself and is a common feature of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (MECFS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS), Fibromyalgia and Long COVID.
​
The autonomic nervous system consists of the parasympathetic (relaxation) and sympathetic nervous system and controls involuntary actions in the body including heart rate, blood pressure, digestive and bladder function. When the autonomic nervous system is constantly out of balance it can leave people with some debility symptoms which severely impact quality of life.
Symptoms of Dysautonomia include:
  • Heart palpitations
  • Sudden drops in blood pressure
  • Dizziness (especially upon sitting or standing)
  • Unexplained fainting
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Trouble swallowing
  • Headaches and brain fog
  • General weakness
  • Irritable bladder
  • Digestive issues such as nausea, bloating and stomach pain
