Autonomic Dysreflexia
Definition
Autonomic hyperreflexia is a reaction of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system to overstimulation. This reaction may include high blood pressure, change in heart rate, skin color changes (paleness, redness, blue-grey skin color), and excessive sweating.
Symptoms
Symptoms can include any or all of the following:
* Anxiety or apprehension (fear)
* Bladder or bowel dysfunction
* Blurry vision
* Fever
* Flushing (skin turning red)
* Goose bumps
* Heavy sweating
* Lightheadedness or dizziness
* Muscle spasm
* Nasal congestion
* Throbbing headache
Sometimes, despite a dangerous rise in blood pressure, there are no symptoms at all.
