Methods Of Treating And Preventing Autonomic Dysreflexia

Take Off Tight Clothes

At times, autonomic dysreflexia can be caused by skin conditions. When individuals feel the symptoms coming on, they should check for and take off any tight clothes they are wearing. An abdominal binder, necktie, compression socks, leg-bag straps, collars, belts, and shoes also fall under this category. As a preventative measure, individuals should wear loose-fitting clothes. In cooler months, they can layer clothes to ensure they are warm enough, but they should still be loose-fitting. Something else individuals can do is to avoid tight-fitting shoes or have shoes they can easily slide on and off at intervals. Their body might not be as sensitive as before, which means their ability to know their clothes are restrictive has to come more from vision than actually feeling restricted.
