Specializes in Internal Medicine

Says who?: Heart dysautonia is where your heart does not compensate when the body needs it to. It is a result of a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. You can have: lightheadedness, dizziness or vertigo heat intolerance rapid heart rate or slow heart rate orthostatic hypotension, sometimes resulting in fainting.
