Dysautonomia: Expert Diagnosis and Treatment

Dysautonomia refers to a group of disorders that impact the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature control. When the ANS malfunctions, it can lead to symptoms that significantly affect daily life, emphasizing the importance of early detection and personalized care.
  • PDifficulty standing for long periods of time
  • PFatigue and persistent tiredness
  • PLightheadedness or dizziness, especially upon standing
  • PGastrointestinal issues like nausea, bloating, or diarrhea
  • PBrain fog and cognitive difficulties
  • PPalpitations, tachycardia, or irregular heart rate
  • PRespiratory challenges, including shortness of breath

Given the variability of symptoms and presentation, timely comprehensive testing is important for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Types of Dysautonomia

It is estimated that 70 million people worldwide have some form of autonomic dysfunction. Often dysautonomias are invisible illnesses. Patients may not look sick, and yet they have symptoms that make it difficult to work, go to school, and perform activities of daily living. Experts believe there are at least 15 different types of dysautonomia that can affect various organ systems throughout the body. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and neuro-cardiogenic syncope are the most common dysautonomias.

Primary Dysautonomia

  • Familial dysautonomia (Riley-Day syndrome)
  • Pure autonomic failure (PAF)
  • Multiple system atrophy (MSA)
  • Neuro-cardiogenic syncope

Secondary Dysautonomia

  • Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
  • Diabetic autonomic neuropathy
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • Vaso-vagal syncope

Causes of Dysautonomia

Dysautonomia may occur independently (primary) or as a result of another condition (secondary). Common causes include:

  • Autoimmune diseases like Sjögren’s syndrome or lupus
  • Diabetes-related autonomic neuropathy
  • Certain viral or bacterial infections
  • Physical trauma impacting the nervous system
  • Genetic predispositions affecting the ANS

Infections, such as post-viral syndromes including long Covid, and physical injuries affecting the nervous system can also lead to autonomic dysfunction. Recognizing these underlying causes is essential for accurate diagnosis and tailored care.
