∙ 16y agoNot knowing your science background, I will define autonomic neuopathy in a terse and cogent manner: this entity is damage to the nerves that regulate the body functions that you can not control, including nerves that regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration, and digestion. Autonomic neuropathy results in faulty commmunication between your brain and the parts of the body that your autonomic nervous system serves.
