Dysautonomia is a complex set of conditions caused by a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system. (ANS). The ANS regulates breathing, keeps blood pressure level, and moderates the heart rate among other things. There are many types of dysautonomia, and symptoms vary but include fainting, nausea, and mood swings.

Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction

Autonomic neuropathy is also called autonomic dysfunction or dysautonomia. These terms describe many conditions that cause the autonomic nervous system (ANS) not to work. The ANS controls the body functions that we do not consciously think about: breathing, blood pressure regulation, digestion, temperature regulation, and more.

Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathies (HSAN)
