Autonomic neuropathy: Perhaps you mean autonomic neuropathy. This refers to a malfunction of the nerves in charge of automatic control of your body functions (like sweating, heart rate, blood vessel constriction in response to changes of position). In conditions like uncontrolled diabetes with autonomic neuropathy, nerves do not work properly and patients can develop dizziness or fainting when standing up quickly.
