Vegetative-vascular dystonia.This diagnosis is heard more than once during the day in the doctor's office - a therapist and a neurologist. This disease is very common in people of all ages. However, few of them fully understand what this disease is. You can learn about it by reading the information below. Having certain knowledge, the sick person or his relatives will know exactly what they had to face - after all, vegetative-vascular dystonia requires serious treatment. And in no case should it be neglected. Strictly speaking, vegetative-vascular dystonia is not a separate independent disease. Its presence indicates that the sick person has certain disorders of the normal functioning of the autonomic nervous system. And its work is very, very important - it performs very important functions in the human body:
- Constancy of the internal environment.It is the human autonomic nervous system that is responsible for ensuring that the internal environment of the body is constant and stable: heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, metabolic rate, sweating process, body temperature. A disruption of the autonomic nervous system will inevitably lead to a disruption of normal vital processes.
- The body's ability to adapt.The central vegetative nervous system is responsible for the full mobilization of all vital systems of the body in adverse conditions. In other words, due to the normal functioning of the vegetative system, the body has the ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions: physical and mental stress, stress, weather changes and even climate, time zones.
Features of the disease
As already mentioned, vegetative-vascular dystoniais one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system. Up to 70 percent of all people face such a disorder. And about half of them need consultation, treatment and subsequent monitoring of the disease. Most often, the very first manifestations of vegetative-vascular dystonia are observed in adolescence. And sometimes vegetative-vascular dystonia can also occur in children. And the disease manifests itself more clearly at the age of twenty to forty years. Moreover, doctors note that vegetative-vascular dystonia manifests itself twice as often in women. There are a variety of factors that contribute to the development of this disease. But most often vegetative-vascular dystonia is caused by factors such as:
Signs of dystonia
Vegetative-vascular dystonia cannot proceedwithout any consequences. This disease has a number of signs and symptoms that will help the doctor suspect vegetative-vascular dystonia. The sick person will undergo the necessary examination, with the help of which the doctor will make a final diagnosis. If a person has vegetative-vascular dystonia, significant fluctuations in blood pressure can be observed - both up and down, heart rhythm disturbances, dizziness, or even fainting. Another very clear indication of the disease is the presence of psycho-emotional disorders in the sick person: internal tension, low mood, decreased performance. And, in addition, vegetative-vascular dystonia and panic almost always go hand in hand. Therefore, if you or your loved ones have an unjustified feeling of anxiety - consult a doctor.
Treatment of the disease
Vegetative vascular dystonia, with propertherapy is carried out quite quickly. However, please note that the key word is “correct”. Self-medication or treatment based on the advice of friends can lead to the most unpredictable consequences. Treatment should be prescribed only by a doctor. As a rule, after conducting a series of examinations and assessing the general condition of the patient’s body, the doctor prescribes the necessary therapy. In addition, the patient needs to completely reconsider his or her lifestyle and daily routine. The patient should get enough sleep, spend enough time in the fresh air. It is advisable to completely give up coffee, alcohol and smoking for some period - these factors significantly aggravate the course of the disease. In addition, if vegetative-vascular dystonia occurs against the background of a particular concomitant disease (and this happens quite often), the doctor will definitely prescribe a course of treatment. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to get rid of the disorder of the autonomic nervous system. And do not hope that you will be able to get rid of vegetative-vascular dystonia very quickly - as a rule, treatment lasts two to three months. And this is not surprising - after all, a comprehensive impact is necessary on the entire nervous system. However, if the sick person follows all the doctor's recommendations and leads a healthy lifestyle, vegetative-vascular dystonia will definitely recede. But do not forget that it can very quickly return if the provoking factors appear again. We recommend reading:
