Autonomic Neuropathy

The one who initially guides this condition may be the general practitioner, who assesses the symptoms and, depending on the case, refers to the appropriate specialist. Autonomic neuropathy is the involvement of the nerves that regulate the body's automatic functions, such as blood pressure, digestion, sweating, or bladder control.

What it involves: the damage affects the autonomic nervous system, which is in charge of processes that occur without our thinking about them, so its signs can be varied.

Common symptoms: dizziness when standing up, digestive changes, changes in sweating, urinary problems, or variations in heart rhythm.

When to seek care? When these discomforts occur persistently or without apparent cause, an evaluation is advisable to understand their origin and provide appropriate follow-up.
