T44: Poisoning by drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system
T44.2: Poisoning: Ganglionic blocking drugs, not elsewhere classified
Many processes run unconsciously in the body. These include breathing and digestion, for example. The heartbeat or blood pressure are also adjusted independently by the body. These processes are controlled by certain nerves. Nerves transmit information in the body.
You have taken a medication that inhibits the transmission of information between nerves.
If you have taken too much of the medication your blood pressure may be too low. Sometimes the heart may beat very fast. There is often a feeling of dryness in the mouth. The symptoms depend on how much the body has been damaged by the medication, among other things. Severe illness is also possible.
