Trastornos del sistema nervioso autónomo
El sistema nervioso autónomo es la parte de su sistema nervioso que controla las acciones involuntarias, tales como los latidos cardíacos y el ensanchamiento o estrechamiento de los vasos sanguíneos. Cuando algo malo ocurre en este sistema, puede causar problemas serios, entre ellos:
- Problemas con la presión arterial
- Problemas cardíacos
- Dificultad en la respiración y la deglución
- Disfunción eréctil en los hombres
Los trastornos del sistema nervioso autónomo pueden presentarse aislados o como resultado de otras enfermedades, tales como la enfermedad de Parkinson, el alcoholismo y la diabetes. Los problemas pueden afectar parte del sistema, como en los síndromes de dolor regional complejo, o en todo el sistema. Algunos tipos son transitorios, pero muchos empeoran con el transcurso del tiempo. Cuando afectan la respiración o la función cardiaca, estos trastornos pueden ser riesgosos para la vida.
Algunos trastornos del sistema nervioso autónomo pueden mejorar cuando se trata la enfermedad subyacente. Sin embargo, con frecuencia no hay una cura. En esos casos, la meta del tratamiento es mejorar los síntomas.

For You
Your autonomic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that controls involuntary actions, such as the beating of your heart and the widening or narrowing of your blood vessels. When something goes wrong in this system, it can cause serious problems, including
- Blood pressure problems
- Heart problems
- Trouble with breathing and swallowing
- Erectile dysfunction in men
Autonomic nervous system disorders can occur alone or as the result of another disease, such asParkinson's disease, alcoholism and diabetes. Problems can affect either part of the system, as incomplex regional pain syndromes, or all of the system. Some types are temporary, but many worsen over time. When they affect your breathing or heart function, these disorders can be life-threatening.
Some autonomic nervous system disorders get better when an underlying disease is treated. Often, however, there is no cure. In that case, the goal of treatment is to improve symptoms.
