Familial dysautonomia is an uncommon inherited disorder of the autonomic nervous system, the one that regulates automatic functions such as blood pressure, temperature, digestion, and tear production.
Common symptoms: It may present with difficulty regulating blood pressure, problems swallowing or digesting, poor tear production, changes in sensation, and episodes of instability.
Common causes: It has a genetic origin and is usually present from childhood.
Which specialist treats it? Its follow-up involves the geneticist, the cardiologist, and the internist, depending on the functions affected. When symptoms suggest an impairment of the body's automatic control, the most appropriate course is to request a comprehensive professional evaluation.
