How ANS and HPA Lead To Fibromyalgia Pain
Together, the ANS and the HPA axis are major paths for body responses during stressful conditions. These responses include pain, trauma, infection, low blood sugar and low blood pressure.
Due to certain malfunctions in the ANS and HPA, the body can struggle to maintain homeostasis. External factors such as persistent daily stress, injury or other stressors can further knock the body's equilibirum off-balance. The body systems and stress response regulated by the ANS ans HPA respectively can go haywire.
Studies conducted have shown that fibromyalgia patients are prone to either inactivity or overactivity in the HPA, causing abonormal levels of important hormones and hence leading to various symptoms of fibromyalgia.
