Our body is nothing short of wonderful, a kind of machine driven by many mechanisms connected to each other in a perfect way. Adding to its appeal is the fact that its workings often appear mysterious to most of us mere mortals.
So much so that, in case of discomfort, sometimes we may not understand that there is something that it would be better to investigate with the doctor. In fact, it could happen that those that seem little worrying signals may hide problems that hinder the proper functioning of our body. As in the case of rather widespread sensations that could however also be spies of a certain condition that should not be underestimated.
Autonomic nerves
Peripheral nerves connect the central nervous system to various parts of our body. However, due to a particular disease, these nerves could be damaged and not working properly. The disease in question is neuropathy, it could affect one or more peripheral nerves, as well as all types. At the same time, however, it could affect certain nerves purely or to a greater extent. According to the type affected, the symptoms would be differentiated, which therefore could be signals that direct us. Excessive sweating, abdominal bloating, dizziness and rapid heartbeat could turn out to be among them. But also the absence of sweat, arterial hypotension, diarrhea or constipation, as well as incontinence or difficulty in completely emptying the bladder.
All these manifestations could indicate a malfunction of the vegetative or autonomic nerves, that is, those nerves responsible for controlling the involuntary functions of the body. Such are, for example, digestion and heartbeat. We would therefore speak in this case of autonomic or vegetative neuropathy. Other signs of this disease would also be the ease in developing bruises and the difficulty in healing wounds.
Excessive sweating, abdominal bloating, dizziness and tachycardia could be symptoms of this disease also due to vitamin deficiency
The different neuropathies could be hereditary and therefore depend on the genetic heritage, but also acquired. In this case they could have several causes.
They could be among the consequences of blood sugar splashing above certain values in people with diabetes. Many other diseases could be involved, including those related to the liver and kidneys, hypothyroidism, vasculitis, but also infections of various kinds. The causes could also be alcohol abuse and the effect of some medications, as well as a deficiency of some vitamins. It would be B12, B1, B6 and E. As far as B6 is concerned, even an excess could lead to neuropathies. If symptoms arise that make us suspect the presence of this disease, it will be good to contact a neurologist to investigate.
