Dysautonomia is an umbrella term for conditions where the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not function as it should. The ANS controls automatic body processes like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation.
When it malfunctions, everyday activities such as standing up, eating, or even concentrating can become challenging.
Conditions include POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), Orthostatic Hypotension, Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia and more.
