Autonomic Disorders

What is Autonomic Disorders ?

Autonomic disorders are disorders of the nervous system that occur due to damage to the nerves of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomous nervous system is the part of the nervous system that controls the heart rate, digestion, sensation, body temperature, and breathing rate of a person. Autonomic dysfunction causes mild to moderate symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, sweat abnormality, digestion abnormality, urinary problems, vision problems, irregular heartbeat, and more. They can be aggravated in patients with obesity, high blood pressure, long-term alcoholism, and/or autoimmune disorders.

How are they treated ?

  • The condition will be assessed and treatment is directed towards relieving the symptoms and removal of the underlying cause.
  • Medication towards fatigue, heart issues, digestion, and urinary issues will be given.
  • Home remedies like drinking enough fluids, having proper salt intake, elevating the head and feet while sleeping, and using compression socks while sleeping may help to an extent.
  • Medications like midodrine and Alpha lipoic acid may be prescribed. TENS, acupuncture, and other pain-relieving physiotherapy methods are useful.
  • Since curing all of the damaged nerves is difficult, treatment is multidisciplinary and is mostly directed towards symptom relief and support. Nerve regeneration procedures may also be performed.
  • Long-term medication and care- coordination is to be expected.

Brain Injury Medicine

Whenever a brain injury or a head trauma occurs, the brain tissue will be affected and results in gradual loss of nerve tissue or sensations. This may also result in decreases stimulus perception as the nerves may not be able to properly catch up the stimuli and give back responses. So before a surgery is performed to cure the brain injury, or even after the surgery, specific medications called the brain injury medicines are used. The medication depends on the severity and the type of the traumatic brain injury.
