Tachycardia and bradycardia, blood pressure lability, hyperthermia, hypoventilation, and/or apnea were each reported in most patients with autonomic instability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Autonomic instability, evidenced by blood pressure and temperature fluctuations, tachycardia, bradycardia, and even cardiac pauses, is not uncommon. [dx.doi.org]

NMDA receptors are proteins that control electrical impulses in the brain. [antinmdafoundation.org]

Similarly, mood dysregulation disorders, disorders of impulse control, and sleep disorders may be identified. [dx.doi.org]

Malignant catatonia is a severe and life-threatening state associated with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It is often inadequately assessed and may not respond to immunosuppressive treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is an immune-mediated syndrome which presents with a variety of neurological symptoms including headache, fever, personality change and seizures. Most case reports to date are of young adults, it is much less frequently reported in older adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Early symptoms may include fever, headache, and feeling tired. This is then typically followed by psychosis which presents with false beliefs (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear (hallucinations). [en.wikipedia.org]
