Sympathetic nervous system disorders

Sympathetic nervous system disorders involve dysfunction of the part of your nervous system responsible for the "fight or flight" response. These disorders can cause abnormal responses such as excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, or sudden blood pressure changes. Conditions like dysautonomia or autonomic hyperactivity may result from nerve damage, disease, or injury affecting this system. Symptoms can be unpredictable, impacting daily activities and overall well-being. Treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through medications, lifestyle adjustments, or therapies targeting the nervous system’s regulation.
