What happens during the disease - somatoform autonomic dysfunction
Somatoform autonomic dysfunction is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system does not function properly. it is caused by a disruption in the normal communication between the brain and the body, leading to an imbalance in the body’s autonomic response to stress. this can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, headaches, sweating, and palpitations. it is believed that this condition is caused by psychological factors such as stress or anxiety, which can cause the autonomic nervous system to become overstimulated and lead to the symptoms associated with somatoform autonomic dysfunction.
