G90: Disorders of autonomic nervous system

Disorders of the autonomic nervous system, also known as autonomic dysfunction, are a group of conditions that occur when there is damage to the nerves that control your body's automatic functions. These automatic functions include heart rate, blood pressure, digestive processes, body temperature regulation, and more. People with autonomic dysfunction can have a wide range of symptoms, depending on which parts of the autonomic nervous system are affected. Common symptoms may include dizziness and fainting, trouble with digestion, difficulty with urination, and abnormalities in heart rate and blood pressure. The causes of autonomic dysfunction can be varied and might include other illness, injury, or genetic factors. The progression of these disorders can also differ greatly from person to person, with some experiencing a gradual worsening of symptoms over time, while others may have symptoms that are intermittent or suddenly severe.
