Understanding Dysautonomia: When Your Nervous System Stops Playing Fair
What Is Dysautonomia?
Ever felt dizzy when standing up too quickly? Or experienced racing heartbeats, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or digestive issues—all with no clear cause? If so, you may be dealing with Dysautonomia—a condition that affects how your autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls essential bodily functions.
The ANS regulates things we don’t think about: heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, breathing, and temperature control. When Dysautonomia develops, these functions become dysregulated, leading to a wide range of symptoms that can make daily life challenging.
💡 At Neuro Care, we specialise in neurological rehabilitation and autonomic nervous system therapies to help patients regain balance, stability, and control over their symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Dysautonomia
Dysautonomia comes in many forms, including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Neurocardiogenic Syncope (NCS), and Autonomic Neuropathy. Symptoms vary, but common signs include:
🔹 Dizziness & Lightheadedness – Feeling faint or unsteady, especially when standing up.
🔹 Heart Rate Fluctuations – Racing or irregular heartbeat (even at rest).
🔹 Blood Pressure Instability – Spikes, drops, or unpredictable fluctuations.
🔹 Chronic Fatigue – A deep, unrelenting exhaustion not relieved by rest.
🔹 Brain Fog & Poor Concentration – Difficulty processing information and staying focused.
🔹 Temperature Regulation Issues – Cold hands/feet, excessive sweating, or heat intolerance.
🔹 Digestive Problems – Bloating, nausea, or delayed stomach emptying (Gastroparesis).
💡 These symptoms can be overwhelming, but with the right treatment, you can regain control of your body.
What Causes Dysautonomia?
Dysautonomia can develop due to:
✔️ Neurological Conditions (such as MS or Parkinson’s Disease)
✔️ Chronic Illnesses (including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Autoimmune Disorders)
✔️ Traumatic Brain Injuries & Concussions
✔️ Viral Infections & Post-Viral Syndromes
✔️ Unknown Causes (Idiopathic Dysautonomia)
The condition often worsens over time if left untreated, making early intervention essential.
How Neuro Care Helps Dysautonomia Recovery
Many people are told there’s “nothing they can do” about Dysautonomia—but that’s not true. With neurological rehabilitation, autonomic retraining, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), many patients experience significant symptom reduction and improved quality of life.
Neurological Rehabilitation & Autonomic Training
🔹 Helps retrain the nervous system to respond more appropriately to stimuli.
🔹 Improves balance, coordination, and blood pressure stability.
🔹 Supports vagus nerve function, crucial for autonomic regulation.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
🔹 Increases oxygen flow to the brain & nervous system.
🔹 Reduces inflammation that contributes to dysautonomia symptoms.
🔹 Supports neurological repair & autonomic balance.
Lifestyle & Functional Adjustments
🔹 Guided breathing exercises to strengthen autonomic function.
🔹 Movement-based rehabilitation to improve circulation & nervous system response.
🔹 Nutritional and hydration strategies to support autonomic stability.
What to Expect in Your Recovery Plan
Every Dysautonomia patient at Neuro Care receives a personalized rehabilitation plan, including:
✔️ Comprehensive Assessment – Understanding your unique symptoms & triggers.
✔️ Customized Treatment Plan – Integrating neurological therapy, HBOT, and autonomic training.
✔️ Progress Tracking & Adjustments – Ensuring consistent improvements over time.
💡 It’s not just about managing symptoms—it’s about real recovery.
