Abstract
This is a self report. It is age related because I am 96 years old; about 5 years ago I was asymptomatic in this respect. I describe the difficulties to think to have to take a breath without getting evidence of hypoxia such as flashes of light and other evidence of hypoxia such as loss of muscle tone. The problem I have is loss of autonomic function which normally controls breathing without the need to think to take a breath.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Autonomic Research aims to draw together and disseminate research work from various disciplines and specialties dealing with clinical problems resulting from autonomic dysfunction. Areas to be covered include: cardiovascular system, neurology, diabetes, endocrinology, urology, pain disorders, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, toxicology and clinical pharmacology, skin infectious diseases, renal disease.
This journal is an essential source of new information for everyone working in areas involving the autonomic nervous system. A major feature of Clinical Autonomic Research is its speed of publication coupled with the highest refereeing standards.
