Parasympathetic?: Your parasympathetic nervous system (pns) is responsible for the rest, repair & digestion phase of your metabolism. Your pns is activated when you relax your urinary sphinter when you urinate. Pns activation will increase Insulin secretion & hence drop your blood sugar & make you hungry. The pns also causes dilation of blood vessels therefore lowering your blood pressure & causing dizziness.
