Autonomic neuropathy can be caused by several different conditions, including diabetes and autoimmune disease. It can effect heart rate, BP, temperature control, GI function/motility, balance, endocrine function, etc.

It can come in waves in response to trauma, surgery, infection, etc. If the cause is know, then treatment would be to based on that condition...like diabetes. Otherwise, treatment is supportive to help control symptoms of systems effected. There are many options for effective heart rate and BP control.

Tilt table is usual test for POTS.

Sensory/motor involvement is common, but it depends on the underlining cause.

I had all the usual tests - nothing abnormal. My Neuro diagnosed inflammatory peripheral neuropathy (response to a virus) and said it would decline over the next 12-18 months. It did until i had a further 'relapse' at the end of August 2012 - this time it presented as severe palpitations and what i think is POTS - my heart rate can fluctuate significantly even at rest. Tiredness +++ and breathless on exertion. Also,elbow pain radiating down ulnar nerve in left arm - repsonded well to Naproxen. Facial flushing.

I've been referred back to the Neuro and Cardiology but i was wondering if anyone has experience of Autonomic Peripheral Neuropathy? I believe most types also have sensory/motor involvement.

I cant find much in terms of autonomic PN from searching the threads.Some people have some symptoms but they dont appear to be the main symptom.

Thanks

Andy
