Multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions such as heart rate, bladder function, and digestion. This is known as autonomic dysfunction or dysautonomia. People with MS may experience symptoms like heart palpitations, urinary problems, and issues with body temperature regulation due to inflammation affecting the autonomic pathways. This can lead to various complications, emphasizing the need for careful management and monitoring of these symptoms in individuals with MS.
