Dysautonomia can cause symptoms that resemble other conditions. For example, the symptoms may occur due to hypotension, which has numerous other possible causes.
Nonprofit organization The Dysautonomia Project suggests that dysautonomia may be one of the most misdiagnosed conditions. This may be due to a lack of knowledge about the condition and the fact that symptoms can be unpredictable and resemble other conditions.
If a doctor suspects dysautonomia, they may perform an orthostatic vitals test. This may also help them rule out other conditions.
