Symptoms of autonomic nervous system failure include fainting spells and problems with heart rate and bladder control. Motor control (movement) dysfunction may feature symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and loss of muscle coordination. Some of these symptoms are similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease.) |
