Symptom #7: Faulty Autonomic Nervous System
All day, every day, our organs and other body parts are acting without our conscious input. Our hearts beat, our lungs inflate and deflate, and our digestive system takes nutrition and energy for our food. We take these things for granted, but we’d be in grave danger if something was to go wrong.
With a failing brain, people with Lewy body dementia can find that these processes that once went smoothly will begin to struggle.
