About Autonomic Neuropathy

Autonomic neuropathy is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation performed by a neurologist to assess damage to the nerves that control involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and bladder control. This condition is often a complication of underlying diseases like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or Parkinson's disease. The diagnostic procedure involves a series of specialized, non-invasive tests to measure the autonomic nervous system's response to various stimuli. These tests help pinpoint the extent and type of nerve dysfunction, which is crucial for developing an effective management plan to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
