A member asked:

What causes sympathetic system/ autonomic over-reaction ? my doctor says this is why my muscles burn.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysautonomia: Usually due to an excess of adrenaline when the body has lost the ability to break it down after it is released from a physical or emotional stress. See a doctor who specializes in hyperadrenergic syndrome.
