Dysautonomia
A Silent Epidemic
Dysautonomia refers to a group of conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation. Symptoms can vary widely and may include dizziness, fatigue, heart rate changes, and exercise intolerance.

The invisible illness
understanding dysautonomia
Dysautonomia is a condition that disrupts the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. This can result in various symptoms, including dizziness, fatigue, and trouble regulating body temperature.
Many people with dysautonomia feel dizzy or lightheaded, especially when standing or changing positions. This happens because the autonomic nervous system struggles to maintain proper blood flow to the brain.
