Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Shy-Drager Syndrome:
NINDS Shy-Drager Syndrome Information Page: NINDS (Excerpt)
The disorder is characterized by postural
(or orthostatic) hypotension—an excessive drop in blood pressure when the
patient stands up, which causes dizziness or momentary blackouts.

NINDS Shy-Drager Syndrome Information Page: NINDS (Excerpt)
In all three forms of MSA, the
patient can have orthostatic hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension and
symptoms of autonomic failure such as constipation, impotence in men, and
urinary incontinence usually predominate early in the course of the
disease. Constipation may be unrelenting and hard to manage. Shy-Drager
syndrome may be difficult to diagnose in the early stages. For the
majority of patients, blood pressure is low when the patients stand up and
high when the patients lie down. Other symptoms that may develop include
impaired speech, difficulties with breathing and swallowing, and inability
to sweat.
