10 Dysautonomia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Cold Feet or Hands
Patients with dysautonomia can experience either low or high blood pressure due to a dysfunction in the ANS. Luckily, the body has a mechanism of prioritizing blood supply to critical organs when there is low blood pressure.
Thus, most of the blood is shunted to the brain, heart, lungs, etc., while the extremities receive poor blood supply. This can cause discoloration and a cold sensation in hands and feet in patients with dysautonomia.
