I have been diagnosed with dysautonomia and also have a genetic factor of a very rare condition called Townes-Brock which list chiari malformation as a possibility.
So one of my questions is - Can chiari malformation cause dysautonomia?
And would surgery resolve dysautonomia issues? Or is that a ongoing problem that can not be fixed?
Or can dyautonomia diagnoses just be the category I was put in with the signs and symptoms being similar and the problem is chiari malformation that are causing symptoms.
Are they 2 different conditions or possibly 1?
Sorry a bit confusing but all logical.
Thanks
