Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Raising Heart Rate

Guillain–Barré syndrome can also affect the involuntary or autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for controlling some important body functions, such as blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, people with this condition can also experience an increased heart rate and blood pressure fluctuations. This leads to some other complications as the amount of oxygen and nutrients to some body parts might change unexpectedly. It is important to visit a doctor as soon as possible as these symptoms can be life-threatening and dangerous. [5]
