Don’t miss this common comorbidity. In our office we see that many patients have underlying autonomic dysfunction.
🧠
Standing up and being lightheaded is not normal. We shouldn’t see stars or tunnel vision for even a second.

Have you recently been diagnosed with FND?
🧠
If so, this is important:
An FND diagnosis should not automatically end further medical evaluation.
🧠
Many people with symptoms like dizziness, fainting, rapid heart rate, fatigue, or brain fog are diagnosed with FND without ever being evaluated for POTS or other forms of dysautonomia.
🧠
Both conditions are real.
And they can co-exist.
🧠
Too often, once “FND” is written in a chart, testing stops — even when symptoms match conditions that can be measured and treated.
🧠
A few things to keep in mind:
1.Being diagnosed is not the same as being fully evaluated.
2.Asking for appropriate testing is not “denial.”
3.You deserve thorough care.
🧠
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and your symptoms matter.

Although migraine, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), and Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures (PNES) present with different symptom patterns, they share overlapping dysfunction in central sensory processing, autonomic regulation, and brainstem–vestibular networks.

These conditions are best understood as disorders of neural regulation and adaptability, rather than isolated structural disease.

1. Central Sensitization:

-A lowered threshold for sensory and internal signals.

-Central sensitization refers to increased excitability within the central nervous system, where normal sensory, interoceptive, or emotional signals are amplified and perceived as threatening, painful, or overwhelming.

The nervous system is over-detecting and over-responding, not “imagining” symptoms.

2. Autonomic Dysfunction

Impaired regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature, and stress response.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) acts as the body’s internal stabilizer. Across these conditions, the ANS shows reduced flexibility and poor context-appropriate responses.

The body struggles to shift smoothly between rest, focus, and stress, leading to symptom cascades.

3. Vestibular & Brainstem Network Dysfunction

Disrupted integration of balance, autonomic control, and sensory filtering.

The brainstem is a critical hub connecting vestibular input, autonomic reflexes, pain modulation, and arousal systems.

Take the First Step Toward Lasting Relief:
Don’t let migraines, POTS, or neurological symptoms control your life.

At Aura FNC, we combine advanced functional neurology with personalized care to uncover root causes and restore balance.

Dysautonomia and blood sugar has a direct link- and knowing this can be extremely helpful
🧠
Reactive hypoglycemia is a drop in blood sugar after you consume a meal (typically higher in carbohydrates)
🧠
This instant drop in blood sugar (typically 30min-1 hour after eating) contributes to many of the symptoms that patients come see us for
🧠
Symptoms of:
-internal body tremors
-onset of a headache
-unexplained anxiety
-feeling shaky in hands
-nausea onset and more
🧠
Now does fixing this issue take away all symptoms of dysautonomia? No- because this is a complex condition involving multiple aspects from metabolic, neurological and structural but it certainly helps
🧠
Have you been searching for a holistic approach to your dysautonomia diagnosis? We would be honored to help.

Ever wake up with a stiff neck or a headache that just won’t quit?
🧠
The culprit might be closer than you think — your pillow.
🧠
When you sleep with a pillow that lacks proper cervical support, your neck is left in an awkward position all night. Over time, this puts excess strain on the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) — that big muscle running from behind your ear down to your collarbone.
🧠
Tight SCMs don’t just cause neck pain. They’re also a major trigger for tension headaches and migraines, since they can compress surrounding nerves and restrict blood flow.
🧠
Your SCM can become tight even before you hit the pillow — through chest breathing (using the upper chest and shoulders instead of the diaphragm).
🧠
Poor breathing mechanics recruit the SCM and other secondary respiratory muscles, keeping them overworked and tight all day long.
🧠
So what can help?
-Use a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck (not too high, not too flat).
-Practice diaphragmatic breathing — slow, deep breaths expanding your belly, not your chest.

Have you heard that the biggest trigger for migraine is wine and aged cheese?
🧠
Where does that come from?
🧠
From a concept of histamine intolerance.
🧠
Histamine is a key immune messenger that affects blood vessels and the nervous system. When it’s not properly broken down, high levels can lead to symptoms like:

Headaches & migraine
Flushing, hives
Fast heart rate
GI upset

Many people with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) or dysautonomia/POTS also experience histamine-related migraines.
🧠
This overlap suggests a shared pathway involving the autonomic nervous system and immune dysregulation.

Importance of OPK Reflexes
🧠
Visual Stabilization:
OPK reflexes are vital for maintaining visual stability when looking at moving objects. They help keep the object of focus clearly on the retina, avoiding blurriness or double vision.
🧠
Balance and Coordination:
Since OPK reflexes also involve vestibular information (related to balance), they are closely tied to the body’s overall coordination. This coordination helps maintain orientation in space.
🧠
Diagnostic Use:
Testing OPK reflexes can be used in clinical settings to assess brain function, particularly in diagnosing conditions that affect the brainstem or cerebellum. Abnormalities in the OPK reflex can indicate neurological disorders, including damage to the visual or motor pathways.

Migraine presents with many neurological symptoms outside of a headache. It's important to note that this occurs not only during an attack but on a daily basis impacting one's quality of life and function.
🧠
For those who experience them frequently, certain neurological symptoms related to the cerebellum may occur that you may have spotted yourself.
🧠
The cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination, balance, and fine motor control, can sometimes show signs of dysfunction during or daily for migraine patients.
🧠
This may manifest as:
-Dizziness (you feel like you are moving when still)
-Trouble with balance or walking, or veering
-Difficulty with coordination (e.g., shaky hands)
-Trouble with speech breakdown
🧠
Remember, managing migraine is not just about treating the pain—it's about understanding the full impact on brain health and working on strengthening all the weak areas to increase the migraine threshold.
