What are some signs and symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia?

Autonomic dysreflexia is a potentially life-threatening medical emergency, brought on by a noxious stimulus, that affects people with spinal cord injuries at the sixth thoracic vertebrae (T6) level or higher. Although rare, some people with T7 and T8 injuries can develop autonomic dysreflexia. For most people, autonomic dysreflexia can easily be treated as well as prevented.

Some of the signs and symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia include the following: pounding headache (caused by the elevation in blood pressure) goose pimples sweating above the level of the spinal cord injury nasal congestion slow pulse blotching of the skin restlessness hypertension (blood pressure greater than 200/100) flushed (reddened) face red blotches on the skin above the level of the spinal cord injury nausea slow pulse (less than 60 beats per minute) cold, clammy skin below the level of the spinal cord injury.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
