What is the Autonomic Nervous System?
The autonomic nervous system controls unconscious bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, and sleep. If the balance between tension and relaxation is disrupted, various, often elusive symptoms can arise.

Typical symptoms include palpitations, dizziness, sweating, gastrointestinal complaints, inner restlessness, and sleep disturbances – often fluctuating and without a clear organic cause.

The cause is usually persistent stress and overload, which disrupt the balance between the activating and calming parts of the nervous system.
Welche Prognose kann ich erwarten?
