<h1>Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Dysautonomia--Is There A Link?</h1>

According to Dr. Richard Boles is a clinician and researcher skilled at providing helpful treatments for children and adults suffering from mitochondrial functional disorders such as autism, cyclic vomiting syndrome and depression, there appears to be some kind of link connecting mitochondrial dysfunction and dysautonomia symptoms.

Although dysautonomia is usually not life-threatening, it does affect a person's daily quality of life in a big way, and finding a way mitigate or eliminate this problem has become an ongoing area of study for many physicians. Dysautonomia is known to cause things like heat intolerance, erratic blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, intermittent GI dysfunction and other issues.  Dr. Boles is one of the few physicians specializing in functional disorders as they relate to mitochondrial disease.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), being that part of the nervous system which reacts to danger, is what is often 'out of whack' with respect to dysautonomia. More specifically, the sympathetic nervous system is that part of the autonomic system which causes us to react to danger, causing a cascade of biological changes preparing us to fight or run away.  What Dr. Boles and other doctors are noticing is that patients with mitochondrial disease or dysfunctioning mitochondria, theirs sympathetic systems work well, but their parasympathetic system operate properly, causing many of those symptoms we see in dysautonomia patients, like heat intolerance, erratic blood pressure, dizziness, etc--all because the parasympathetic nervous system isn't signalling accurately.

Now, what is behing the malfunctioning parasympathetic nervous system or causing the improper mitochondrial functioning is likely to be a variety of things, since it is known that there a variety of biochemical processes happening in the mitochondria that can be affected greatly by environmental toxins, dietary stress, and many other things.

Still, if you are working to get to the bottom of your symptoms and feel better, your best bet is to connect with world-class autonomic disorder doctors such as Dr. Paula Moore and Dr. Susan Phillips at Dysautonomia-MVP Center, LLC in Birmingham, AL.
