What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

Autonomic hyperreflexia can cause the person's blood pressure to rise to a danger level. Symptoms may include:

  • blurred vision
  • excessive sweating
  • pounding headache
  • redness of the face
  • stuffy nose
  • The severity of the symptoms can depend on how high the blood pressure goes. The symptoms go away quickly once the blood pressure drops to healthy levels.
