Y51: Drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system
Y51.9: Other and unspecified drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system
The term "other and unspecified drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system" refers to medications that influence the functioning of the autonomic nervous system but are not specifically identified. The autonomic nervous system, a part of your body's overall nervous system, is responsible for managing involuntary functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, digestion, and response to stress. Issues could arise if the medications are misused or interact negatively with other substances or conditions in the body. Common symptoms could include changes in heart rate, blood pressure fluctuations, digestive issues, sweating abnormalities or difficulties with body temperature regulation. Disease progression will depend on individual factors, such as the specific substances involved and the patient's overall health status.
