🔍What is Autonomic Neuropathy?✨ Autonomic Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves controlling involuntary bodily functions, such as: 🔷 Sweating: It can cause excessive sweating or reduced ability to sweat, leading to difficulties in temperature regulation 🔷 Blood Pressure: It can lead to abnormal blood pressure control, resulting in issues like orthostatic hypotension (a significant drop in blood pressure upon standing) 🔷 Heart Rate: It can cause irregular heartbeats, such as tachycardia (fast heart rate) or bradycardia (slow heart rate), as well as an inability for the heart rate to adjust appropriately during physical activity 🔷 Digestion: It can affect digestive processes, leading to symptoms like gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), bloating, nausea, and constipation 🔷 Bladder & Bowel Functions: It can cause bladder dysfunction, such as urinary retention or incontinence, and bowel dysfunction, including constipation or diarrhea 🔷 Immune Function: While autonomic neuropathy primarily affects involuntary body functions, it can indirectly influence immune function, particularly through stress responses and general body regulation Unlike other types of neuropathies that primarily affect sensation or movement, autonomic neuropathy impacts the nerves that keep your body’s systems running smoothly.
