Autonomic dysfunction refers to a condition where the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing, does not work properly. This can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, irregular heartbeats, and problems with temperature regulation. People with autonomic dysfunction may find it challenging to perform daily activities due to these unpredictable symptoms. Common causes of autonomic dysfunction include diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and certain autoimmune disorders. Treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or physical therapy. Understanding this condition is essential for improving the quality of life for those affected.
