A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysautonomia: If you have dysautonomia, your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems tend to overreact and then overcompensate. During sleep the slower heart rate will prevail and the sympathetic nervous system will kick it upon awakening with an overcorrection if your autonomic nervous system is unstable. Are you getting fluids and salt?
