There is not much in the way of overall treatment...it's more supportive care based upon symptoms...from the appropriate specialist.

Some have found supplements help, but that may be for toxic causes or diabetic complications. It really all depends on the cause.

There are several tests that can determine if autonomic neuropathy/dysautonomia is present. Not all hospitals have full autonomic testing, but most can handle the basics (tilt table, GI empty studies, holter monitor, etc). QSART should be available in some teaching hospitals.
Thank you that was most helpful. Hopefully, in time i'll be able to shed the idiopathic title and know the underlying cause.
