Symptoms of Early Amyloidosis

Wooziness When Standing

Amyloidosis can affect the nerves that control your blood pressure [9]. A sudden drop in your blood pressure can cause you to experience dizziness or feel like you’re going to faint. This feeling is most pronounced when you rise to your feet too quickly.

Diarrhea and Constipation

The bowel is controlled by nerves. If amyloidosis affects any of these nerves, you may get constipation or diarrhea.

Conclusion

Amyloidosis can be fatal, depending on which organ it affects. While no cure exists for amyloidosis yet, the condition can be managed. The key to avoiding complications is discovering and tackling it early. If you think you might have amyloidosis, you should see a doctor right away. Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis of amyloidosis.
