Dysautonomia refers to a group of conditions that disrupt the body’s automatic functions, often causing symptoms that affect the heart, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation. In this article, you’ll learn about common autonomic nervous system disorders, their connection to hEDS and long COVID, and the advanced diagnostic and treatment options available.
If you are experiencing unexplained dizziness, rapid heart rate, fainting, or chronic fatigue, a specialized neurological evaluation is essential. Contact New York Neurology Associates today to schedule a comprehensive autonomic assessment in New York and receive personalized, multidisciplinary care.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls many of the body’s automatic functions—heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature, and more. When this system malfunctions, patients can experience a wide range of symptoms that affect multiple body systems.
Our team of board-certified neurologists provides expert diagnosis and treatment for autonomic nervous system disorders, including those related to hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and post-viral syndromes such as long COVID.
Autonomic disorders—collectively known as dysautonomia—occur when the nerves that control involuntary body functions do not function properly.
Common forms of autonomic dysfunction include:
Individuals with hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) often experience symptoms of autonomic imbalance, including:
Research suggests that connective tissue laxity and altered blood vessel elasticity may contribute to autonomic instability in hEDS.
Our neurologists collaborate closely with rheumatology, cardiology, and physical therapy specialists to develop comprehensive, multidisciplinary care plans that address both joint hypermobility and autonomic symptoms.
After certain viral infections—including COVID-19—some patients develop post-viral dysautonomia, most commonly POTS.
Symptoms may include:
Our team has experience evaluating and treating patients with long COVID–related autonomic dysfunction, offering targeted therapies to help restore function and improve quality of life.
At New York Neurology Associates, we offer comprehensive autonomic function testing, including:
