central nervous system, autonomic hyperreflexia, reaction, the autonomic, involuntary, nervous system to over-stimulation, reaction, high blood pressure, change in heart rate, skin color changes, pallor, redness, blue-grey coloration, profuse sweating, most common cause of autonomic hyperreflexia is spinal cord injury, stimuli, tolerated in healthy people, filling, the urinary bladder, create an, excessive response, patient's nervous system, medication side effects, illicit use of stimulants cocaine, amphetamine, enhance the effects of adrenaline, guillain-barre syndrome, a severe form of paralysis, lead to respiratory failure, subarachnoid hemorrhage, a form of brain bleeding, severe head trauma, brain injuries, following conditions share many similar symptoms, different underlying cause, carcinoid syndrome, a disease, abnormal cells, the lungs, gut that produce hormones, thyroid storm, a condition, excessive production of thyroid hormone, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, a condition characterized by muscle stiffness, high fever, drowsiness, antipsychotic medications, anesthetic agents, serotonin syndrome, an abnormal release of serotonin, a brain chemical, high blood pressure, slow pulse, fast pulse, fever, flushing, bladder, bowel dysfunction, headache, profuse sweating, anxiety, nasal congestion, muscle spasm, a complete neurological, medical examination must be performed, patients must provide an accurate medication, drug history, help determine which tests, brain pictures, head ct, mri, spine pictures, particularly mri, lumbar puncture, blood, urine tests, toxicology screening, x-rays, ekg, tilt-table testing, treatment depends on the cause, offending medications, drugs must be discontinued, underlying illness that is causing the symptoms needs to be treated, a substantial slowing, the heart rate is shown to produce symptoms, drugs, anticholinergics, atropine, tried, very high blood pressure needs to be treated, quite unpredictable, falling abruptly, not improve, medications, a pacemaker required, in patients, spinal cord injury, autonomic hyperreflexia, pain, fecal impaction, bladder distension, pressure sores, suctioning, careful attention, patient's needs, prevent these problems, prognosis depends on the underlying cause, autonomic hyperreflexia, due to medications, recover, the offending medications, discontinued, recovery, the condition, factors depends on the success of treatment, the underlying disease, complications, a result of side effects of medications, severe reduction, the pulse rate, a cardiac arrest, prolonged, severe high blood pressure, seizures, stroke, have symptoms of autonomic hyperreflexia, prevention of autonomic hyperreflexia includes avoidance of medications that exacerbate, spine-injured patient, attention to voiding habits, skin condition, pain level, prevent autonomic hyperreflexia.
