Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, also known as autonomic neuropathy, can be summarized by the following main symptoms:
1. Cardiovascular symptoms: such as palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and blood pressure fluctuations. Some patients may experience a sense of impending doom.
2. Digestive system symptoms: gastrointestinal dysfunction is common, including stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or constipation.
3. Neurological symptoms: dizziness, headache, vertigo, tinnitus, insomnia, vivid dreams, memory loss, and difficulty concentrating.
4. Emotional and psychological symptoms: patients often exhibit anxiety, depression, irritability, significant mood swings, restlessness, tension, and fear.
5. Other symptoms: numbness in the limbs, migratory pain, general weakness, low-grade fever, and abnormal skin sensations may also occur. In addition, female patients may experience irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea; male patients may encounter erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
If these symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is recommended.
