What Conditions Affect the Parasympathetic System?
Several medical conditions can impact parasympathetic function, including:
Autonomic Neuropathy: Often seen in diabetic patients, this condition can disrupt normal autonomic responses. Vagal Nerve Disorders: Since the vagus nerve is a major component of the parasympathetic system, its dysfunction can lead to significant symptoms. Brainstem Lesions: Damage to areas of the brainstem that control parasympathetic output can impair function.
