description: "An autonomic epileptic aura is a purely subjective manifestation of an epileptic seizure pertaining to autonomic nervous system function. Autonomic auras include cardiorespiratory (e.g., palpitations and shortness of breath), gastrointestinal, genitourinary (genital sensations, urinary urge), and cutaneous (feeling of warmth or cold) sensations. Abdominal auras constitute the most common type of autonomic aura. These include sensations of nausea, pain, or indescribable discomfort in the abdominal or periumbilical area that can be static, rise to the chest and throat, or descend into the lower abdominal region."
