Poisoning by drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system - what does this mean

Poisoning by drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system occurs when a person is exposed to a drug that affects the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating involuntary body functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration. this can cause a wide range of symptoms, including changes in heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, and pupil size.

What happens during the disease - poisoning by drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system

Poisoning by drugs primarily affecting the autonomic nervous system is caused by the ingestion of certain drugs that disrupt the normal functioning of the autonomic nervous system. these drugs can interfere with the normal transmission of signals between the brain and the body, resulting in a wide range of symptoms including changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating. in severe cases, these drugs can cause seizures, coma, and even death.
