Types of asthenia

In clinical practice, a functional and organic type of disease is distinguished, which are subdivided into several other forms.

1. Organic form

Occurs in 45% of patients, associated with chronic somatic diseases or progressive pathologies. From a neurological point of view, it occurs against the background of infectious organic lesions of the brain, severe craniocerebral injuries, vascular disorders and degenerative processes.

• Infectious diseases
• Endocrine
• Hematological
• Neurological
• Neoplastic
• Hepatological

2. Functional form

Occurs in 55% of patients and is considered reversible, i.e. a temporary condition. The disorder is called reactive, as it is the body's reaction to stress, physical exhaustion or acute illness.

• Acute - stress, overexertion at work
• Chronic – withdrawal syndrome, postpartum depression, post-infectious period, sudden weight loss
• Psychiatric – insomnia, anxiety, depression.

Neurocirculatory asthenia

The neurocirculatory form of asthenic syndrome has many other names, the most common being da Costa syndrome or soldier syndrome. Both names were given to the disorder in honor of Jacob Mendes da Costa, who studied the aftermath of the American Civil War.

Symptoms:

• Cardiological defects
• Problems of autonomic regulation of heart rhythm
• Disorders of vascular pressure and blood pressure regulation
• Respiratory disorders
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary system
• Problems of thermoregulation
• Neurotic syndrome

The symptoms are similar to cardiovascular diseases, although no pathologies are detected during examination. The disease occurs with acute and chronic neuro-emotional stress, physical factors, chronic intoxication, hormonal disorders, infectious diseases, injuries and organic somatic disorders.

Functional asthenia

Primary or functional psychopathological disorder occurs in completely healthy people due to the influence of certain factors and is characterized by reversibility. Thus, if it appeared after infectious lesions, difficult operations or childbirth, then this indicates its somatic nature.

People with increased mental, physical and intellectual stress are susceptible to this form. And also those whose work requires increased attention, emotional overstrain or is associated with a shift work schedule, which disrupts biological rhythms. A long-term state of anxiety and mild depression are also risk factors.

Classification of functional asthenia:

• Acute – work overload, stress, time zone changes.
• Chronic – post-infectious, postpartum, post-operative, sudden weight loss.
• Psychiatric – depression, anxiety, insomnia.

The disease is characterized by emotional weakness, increased fatigue, affective lability. Symptoms can be so pronounced that ordinary light, quiet sounds and other irritants destabilize the patient's condition.

Mental asthenia

The mental form is characterized by increased exhaustion of mental processes and slow restoration of their normal functioning. It is often combined with emotional lability and mental hyperesthesia.

The symptoms of mental disorders are varied, let's look at the main signs of the disease:

• Violation of sensory cognition, that is, perception, representation and sensation – hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia, hallucinations and illusions.
• Disorders of the thought process – slow thinking, difficulty formulating speech.
• Problems with memory, sleep, self-awareness, disruption of biological rhythms responsible for rest and wakefulness.

The causes of pathological changes may be various infectious diseases that directly affect the brain (meningitis, encephalitis). The impact may be due to intoxication or secondary infection, when the infection enters the brain from other organs and systems. The impact of chemicals, drugs, food components or industrial poisons is another possible cause of pathology.

Neurotic asthenia

The neurotic type of asthenic syndrome is one of the phases of the disease development. That is, if the pathology occurs against the background of neurasthenia, it is not true, since weakness, impotence, loss of strength and other symptoms are only a visible phenomenon. The pathology disrupts the mechanisms of mental activity, which leads to changes in behavior and affects the quality of life. The malaise is characterized by constant complaints of unexplained fatigue, loss of strength, decreased vitality, fatigue, intolerance to previously habitual loads. Increased sensitivity to external stimuli, physiological sensations and loud sounds is observed.

The causes of psychopathological illness are usually associated with traumatic events, prolonged exposure of the body to irritants that lead to nervous tension. Treatment involves a comprehensive approach consisting of psychotherapeutic, pharmacological and general strengthening therapy. In severe forms, the recovery process takes place in special specialized institutions. As for prevention, it involves creating favorable conditions for neutralizing emotional tension and stress.

Post-infectious asthenia

Post-infectious asthenic syndrome occurs as a result of infectious diseases or accompanying diseases. The malaise may occur after flu, tonsillitis, hepatitis and other diseases. The patient complains of severe weakness, headaches, decreased performance, aches in the legs and back.

• Occurs in 30% of patients who complain of physical fatigue.
• The first symptoms appear 1-2 weeks after the infectious disease and persist for 1-2 months. If the underlying cause was viral in origin, then periods of temperature fluctuations are possible.
• The main symptoms are physical, that is, a predominant feeling of general fatigue, weakness, and irritability.

This is explained by the fact that after the main disease is cured, small disturbances in energy and metabolic processes remain in the body, which provoke the development of the malaise. If the asthenic syndrome is left unattended, its progression can cause secondary infection, which will significantly worsen the functioning of the immune system.

Treatment involves a full recovery period after the infection. Strengthening the immune system, immunotherapy, proper nutrition, healthy sleep and rest are mandatory.

Asthenia after viral infection

Very often viral infections lead to the development of psychopathological disorders. Acute respiratory viral infections account for 75% of all cases of pathology.

Main symptoms:

• Unexplained headaches of a squeezing nature
• Sharp mood swings
• Fatigue, apathy
• Low performance
• Dizziness
• Pain in joints and bones
• Changes in the cardiovascular system
• Functional disorders in various organs and systems

Vegetative disorder is provoked by a viral infection that remains after a course of therapy. This happens if the patient suffers the disease on his feet, does not take medications that stimulate the immune system, lives in constant stress and nervous tension.

The syndrome has three degrees, each of which is characterized by worsening clinical symptoms.

• Mild – patients complain of fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, minor sleep problems.
• Moderate – fatigue and tiredness increase and become systematic. Sleep problems become constant, it is difficult to fall asleep and wake up, headaches torment you.
• Severe – there is an inability to perform any physical or mental activity. Light activity causes tremors, breathing problems, nausea, tachycardia. Sleep becomes restless, it is difficult to wake up and fall asleep.

For the treatment of mild forms, proper rest and nutrition are recommended. For moderate and severe forms, systematic treatment aimed at eliminating neurological and psychological problems is recommended.

Asthenia after flu

Increased fatigue, tiredness and headaches are the symptoms that accompany us after the flu. Asthenic syndrome after an illness is a neuropsychic and physical weakness. Discomfort appears without any loads, but does not go away after proper rest and sleep.

Such symptoms last for 2-4 weeks not only after the flu, but also after bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. The causes may be related to metabolic acidosis and tissue hypoxia due to viral intoxication. Oxygen deficiency causes disturbances in energy metabolism at the cellular level. In addition, oxidation products accumulate, which reduces the absorption of oxygen by tissues.

Protein metabolism disorders are also among the factors that provoke the disease. The level of ammonia in the blood increases, which negatively affects the central nervous system, reducing the activity of nerve impulse transmission and disrupting the regulation of energy metabolism. Combined medications and antiasthenic drugs are used to treat this condition.

[ 6 ], [ 7 ], [ 8 ], [ 9 ], [ 10 ], [ 11 ]

Nervous asthenia

Asthenic disease of the nervous type often occurs as a result of injuries, pathologies of the brain, infectious diseases, neurasthenia, as well as physical, mental and emotional overload.

Symptoms:

• Irritability
• Apathy
• Anxiety
• Vegetative disorders
• Excitement
• Sleep disorder
• Weakness and exhaustion

In addition to the above symptoms, there are sharp mood swings. If the disease is accompanied by, for example, atherosclerosis, the symptoms are aggressive, and it is difficult for the patient to control emotions. The nervous form is characterized by constant fatigue, pain, and slow thinking. This is explained by the fact that short-term memory suffers.

Neurasthenia causes increased sweating, hot flashes, increased heart rate and changes in blood pressure. A mandatory symptom is headache. The amount and nature of pain depends on the accompanying ailments. Patients complain of constricting pain that occurs at any time of the day.

As the disease progresses, the patient becomes apathetic and secretive. If neurasthenia is accompanied by vegetative-vascular dystonia, anxiety and various phobias appear. In addition, meteolability appears, that is, the dependence of the psychophysiological state on changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature and weather conditions in general. Pain in the joints and limbs, pressure surges appear. Treatment of all signs of the disease is aimed not only at eliminating pathological symptoms, but also at identifying and eliminating the root cause.

Cerebral asthenia

Cerebral psychopathology occurs in patients who have suffered various injuries and damages, such as bruises or concussions. The disease may be the result of an infection, problems with cerebral circulation, intoxication or poisoning. The peculiarity of this form is that the symptoms appear and then disappear, which is not the case with other types of illness. The symptoms do not depend on the type of activity of the patient or his mood.

When examining the nervous system, defects in many reflexes can be identified, which are triggered without any apparent reason. As a rule, pathologies concern abdominal reflexes, coordination problems and pain similar to migraine are possible.

If the disease appeared as a result of a concussion, there may be attacks of causeless aggression. With atherosclerosis, an unstable emotional state and tearfulness are observed. In addition, inhibited brain function is possible, difficulties in trying to navigate in simple situations.

[ 12 ], [ 13 ], [ 14 ], [ 15 ], [ 16 ]

Asthenia of the cardiac type

Asthenic vegetative disorder of the cardinal type is characterized by rapid heartbeat, attacks of tachycardia, shortness of breath and lack of air. The pathology is accompanied by regular crises, the duration of which is up to ten minutes.

The disease develops under the influence of the following factors:

• Regular nervous tension
• Alcohol abuse and smoking
• Hormonal disorders
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Hereditary characteristics of the organism

To restore the body, medications are used, but before that, it is necessary to completely eliminate any stressful situations and depressive states. Physical exercise, proper nutrition, healthy sleep and positive emotions have beneficial properties.

[ 17 ], [ 18 ], [ 19 ], [ 20 ], [ 21 ]

Sexual asthenia

Asthenic syndrome of the sexual type is characterized by a decrease in sexual activity. The pathology can be caused by various infectious agents, diseases of the genitourinary system, stress or prolonged physical exertion.

Mental and emotional stress, hormonal changes, recovery from complex surgeries, time zone changes and failure to observe rest and work schedules are other causes of the disease.

The disease may arise due to sexual experiences, fears, anxiety and problems in personal life. Good rest and appropriate therapy of the primary cause of the syndrome allow to restore sexual health and normal functioning of all organs and systems of the body.

Vascular asthenia

Vegetative vascular psychopathological pathology is characterized by headaches, painful sensations in the heart area, reddening or paleness of the skin. Blood pressure and temperature gradually rise, the pulse quickens, chills begin. Unreasonable fears and anxiety are possible, which arise against the background of general weakness, dizziness, sweating, nausea, darkening of the eyes.

Symptoms:

• Pain in the left side of the chest
• Dizziness and headaches
• Unreasonable weakness, fatigue
• Sleep problems
• Weakness of muscles and the whole body
• Temperature fluctuation
• Arrhythmia
• Blood pressure surges
• Tachycardia
• Anxiety, depression
• Severe shortness of breath
• Polyuria

The symptoms described above indicate the progression of the disease. Attacks last from several minutes to 1-3 hours and pass on their own. Lack of sleep, overwork, poor nutrition, frequent stress and nervous experiences provoke attacks and aggravate pathological symptoms.

Organic asthenia

Organic asthenic syndrome or cerebrasthenia occurs due to a malfunction of the psyche and nervous system. The malaise appears after severe illnesses, chronic somatic lesions or organic pathologies. The main causes are organic lesions of the brain of various etiologies, i.e. craniocerebral trauma, intoxication, bacterial and viral infections, atherosclerosis.

The main symptom is muscle weakness, increased fatigue, absent-mindedness and inability to concentrate. In addition, irascibility, irritability and conflict appear. But at the same time, patients are characterized by indecisiveness, lack of self-confidence and their own strength. Memory loss, sleep problems, frequent dizziness, autonomic instability, and loss of appetite are observed.

To make an accurate diagnosis, superpositional scanning of the brain is used. The procedure makes it possible to identify an imbalance, determine the amount of neurotransmitter and enzyme support necessary for the normal functioning of the brain. Treatment involves establishing the true cause of the ailment. The therapy is complex, consists of a course of medications, psychotherapeutic methods, therapeutic exercise and other physiotherapy procedures.

Physical asthenia

The physical form of psychopathological malaise occurs as a result of prolonged and severe overexertion. The peculiarity of the pathology is that it causes rapid physical exhaustion, along with the psychological symptoms characteristic of the disease.

Symptoms:

• Loss of appetite
• Constant feeling of thirst
• Weight loss
• Sleep problems
• Disorders of thought processes
• Inhibition of consciousness
• Decreased libido
• Headaches, dizziness
• Attacks of nausea

The syndrome may appear after illnesses, after surgery, injuries, severe stress, intoxication of the body. Therapy consists of identifying the underlying cause of the disease. Patients are advised to review their daily routine, eliminate stressful and irritating factors. The doctor prescribes a set of medications, usually tranquilizers, antidepressants and sedatives. A prerequisite for recovery is the creation of favorable psychological conditions that will maintain mental health at the proper level.

Chronic asthenia

Chronic asthenic condition is a pathology that requires serious attention and medical care. As a rule, the defect appears in the presence of such factors as:

• Somatic, mental, endocrine, infectious, chronic and any other diseases.
• Past operations, regular heavy loads and stressful situations, improper rest and sleep patterns, long-term use of medications.
• Defeat of the immune system by viruses and other bacterial microorganisms that penetrate into various organs and systems, changing the structure of cells.

All the above reasons lead to a feeling of fatigue and weakness that does not go away after sleep and proper rest. The thing is that most people are carriers of viruses, but the pathological syndrome develops only in those who have a weakened immune system.

The symptoms of the disease are similar to its other forms. First of all, it is causeless weakness, fatigue, irritability, depression, headaches and dizziness, malaise in the absence of physical activity, muscle pain, loss of concentration.

The pathology is diagnosed if several symptoms are present at the same time. Treatment is long-term and begins with identifying the root cause. Further therapy consists of regular physical activity, which must be performed regardless of how you feel or how you are feeling. It is necessary to properly organize your daily routine, i.e. work and rest. Do not forget about proper nutrition, minimizing stressful situations and nervous shocks.

Muscular asthenia

Muscular asthenic syndrome manifests itself as fatigue, decreased endurance. As it progresses, it becomes impossible to perform any actions using muscles. The patient feels a decrease in the strength needed for normal work. Often the disease appears as a result of a stroke or muscular dystrophy. Nervous exhaustion causes symptoms that manifest as chronic fatigue.

The patient complains of sleep problems, depression, exacerbation of chronic cardiovascular diseases. The mechanism of the pathology lies in the deficiency of energy necessary for the functioning of the muscular system. The main reasons are: a sedentary lifestyle, aging, infectious diseases, pregnancy, exacerbation of chronic diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anemia. In addition to muscle weakness, there is increased anxiety, apathy, chronic pain. In some cases, taking medications leads to the development of the syndrome.

General asthenia

General asthenia is impotence, weakness and increased fatigue, which pathologically affects the functioning of all systems and organs. The psychopathological condition manifests itself in irritability, low mood, headaches, sleep problems and other vegetative-somatic symptoms.

Today, there are two types of general psychopathological disorder:

• Hypersthenic – intolerance to loud sounds, light, increased excitability, irritability, sleep disturbances.
• Hyposthenic - the threshold of excitability is significantly reduced, lethargy, daytime sleepiness, weakness, and fatigue are observed.

The main symptoms of the disease are causeless weakness, progressive fatigue, decreased performance, headaches, muscle weakness, and sleep disorders. The main principle of treatment is symptomatic complex therapy. The patient is prescribed drugs that enhance the immune system, normalize sleep, and improve mental activity.

Long-term asthenia

The long-term course of asthenic syndrome is characterized by progression and aggravation of unfavorable symptoms. The disease requires medical attention and serious diagnostics. As a rule, a long-term psychopathological disorder goes through three stages, each of which is characterized by an increase in pathological signs. Thus, mild headaches and unreasonable fatigue at the first stage turn into systematic pains of a squeezing nature, the inability to concentrate and perform usual work.

Depending on the provoking factor, i.e. the root cause of the disease, the patient may suffer from irritability, irascibility, muscle weakness, depression, sleep disorders, loss of appetite, temperature fluctuations, exacerbation of chronic diseases. Treatment is long-term, since it is necessary to establish the cause and eliminate it, conduct symptomatic therapy of the above symptoms and restore normal functioning of the body after the disorder.

Mixed asthenia

The mixed type of asthenic syndrome is most often found in young patients during hormonal changes. The pathology is a functional disorder based on the pathology of adaptation and neuroendocrine regulation of the body. The causes can be both internal and external factors.

The mixed type is a clinical picture of cardiac, hypertensive and hypotensive psychopathological disorders. This form is characterized by various symptoms. Patients may complain of painful sensations in the heart, frequent headaches, exhaustion of the body, drowsiness, sleep disorders, dizziness, discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract, sweating, irritability and much more.

This pathology presents difficulties in the diagnostic process, as it has signs of many diseases. The disease is treated with the help of complex therapy, which is aimed at restoring the body's vegetative mechanism.

[ 25 ], [ 26 ], [ 27 ], [ 28 ]

Somatogenic asthenia

A somatogenic psychopathological disorder occurs with debilitating chronic lesions of the endocrine system and internal organs, as well as with injuries and surgical interventions.

In ICD 10, the disease is included in the category F06.6 - "Organic emotionally labile (asthenic) disorder caused by somatic disease." The disease is called organic, symptomatic or secondary asthenia. Symptoms depend on the dynamics of the underlying somatic lesion.

Main symptoms:

• Depletion of mental functions – increased fatigue, drowsiness, weakness, decreased performance.
• Anxiety, irritability, feeling of tension and other emotional-hyperesthetic phenomena.
• Vegetative disorders – tachycardia, high blood pressure, hyperhidrosis.
• Decreased libido, changes in appetite and body weight, absent-mindedness, decreased memory.

Therapy involves eliminating the true cause of the disease. Patients are advised to eat well, establish a work and rest regime, minimize worries, nervous disorders and stressful situations.

Asthenia in schizophrenia

Very often, schizophrenic disorder is accompanied by various concomitant pathologies, most often it is asthenic syndrome. The pathological condition is characterized by increasing personality changes. Psychological exhaustion, decreased activity and increased mental stress are observed.

The malaise occurs during nervous overstrain and stressful situations. Past viral and infectious diseases, predisposing genetic factors and metabolic disorders are the main causes of the disease. Patients complain of weakness, decreased concentration, memory and performance, sudden mood swings, irritability, unreasonable fatigue, decreased libido. As it progresses, hallucinations (auditory and visual) and somatic passivity appear.

The disease has several stages, each of which is characterized by an increase in pathological symptoms. As a rule, treatment is carried out in special clinics. The patient will undergo a long course of drug therapy, various physiotherapy procedures and a course of recovery.

[ 29 ], [ 30 ], [ 31 ]

Morning asthenia

Increased fatigue, general weakness and irritability that occur in the morning indicate the development of asthenia. Morning neuropsychic weakness most often occurs when the usual sleep and wakefulness patterns are disrupted. The cause may be night work, stress, anxiety, time zone changes, recent illnesses and much more.

In order to get rid of unpleasant symptoms, it is recommended to establish your daily routine, get enough sleep and avoid stressful situations. But if you wake up and the signs of the disease are already making themselves known, then simple gymnastics will help restore vitality.

• Close your eyes, slowly stretch in bed. This will stretch and warm up your muscles, which will prepare your body for the day's work and fill you with energy. But most importantly, thanks to simple stretching, the pleasure hormone begins to be produced, which contributes to a good mood.
• Take a couple of deep breaths in and out, hold your breath for a while. Blink your eyes 30-40 times. Rub the bridge of your nose with your palm until you feel a slight warmth.
• Clench your hands into fists and unclench, repeat 5-10 times. Relax, alternately tense the muscles of your feet, calves, thighs and buttocks. Pull your knees to your stomach, clasp them with your hands. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale.

After morning exercises, it is recommended to take a refreshing contrast shower, have breakfast and greet the new day in a good mood.

Agastric asthenia

Asthenic agastral syndrome is a combination of psychoneurological and trophic symptoms. The disease appears as a result of metabolic and absorption disorders of substances necessary for the normal functioning of the body. Patients experience progressive weight loss, weakness, increased fatigue, and problems with appetite. In addition, hypotrophy of subcutaneous fat and muscles is noted. With a full diagnosis, iron deficiency anemia and problems with the immune system can be detected.

The disease has a negative impact on the central nervous system, causing changes in character, anxiety, suspiciousness, irritability and tearfulness. Sleep problems become systematic, and headaches, dizziness and fainting spells appear against the background of memory loss. The patient suffers from thirst, frequent urge to urinate, thermoregulation disorders and body temperature fluctuations.

Treatment and prevention include dietary nutrition, necessary to provide the body with all the necessary substances. The patient is prescribed a complex of vitamins, amino acids, iron preparations and various psychotropic drugs to restore the nervous system.

Traumatic asthenia

The traumatic form of asthenic condition occurs as a result of craniocerebral trauma. But there are a number of factors that contribute to the development of the disease, these are alcoholism, intoxication, infectious lesions and vascular disorders. The pathology appears as a result of degenerative changes in brain tissue. The severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms depends on the severity and localization of the injury, the patient's age and other factors.

Neurological system pathologies are expressed as epileptiform attacks, hypertensive syndrome and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics disorders. The patient complains of decreased performance, irritability, emotional lability, vegetative and vestibular disorders, somatic disorders. These symptoms may appear immediately after the injury or after several months or even years.

Treatment involves a gentle lifestyle. Patients are prescribed general strengthening therapy, various medications to restore and calm the nervous system, drugs to enhance the protective properties of the immune system and regular physical exercise to maintain tone.

Asthenia after pneumonia

Asthenic syndrome after pneumonia occurs very often. Pneumonia is a common disease, the diagnosis and treatment of which poses many difficulties. This is due to the diversity of pathogens and variants of its course. In addition, a wide range of drugs and antibiotics affects the recovery of the body in different ways, causing a number of side effects, including psychopathological ones.

Inflammation of the lung tissue manifests itself with various clinical and radiological signs, which requires a long course of antibacterial therapy. The disease is caused by autonomic dysfunction and is classified as a post-infectious disorder. After the illness, the patient complains of increased weakness, fever, drowsiness, headaches, loss of strength, increased sweating, and decreased performance for 2-4 weeks.

In some cases, errors in drug treatment lead to various pathologies and relapses of infection. Therefore, after the course of primary therapy, the patient is prescribed preventive and restorative procedures, i.e. massages, vitamin therapy, healthy sleep and rest, minimum stress and healthy, nutritious nutrition. This helps restore the protective properties of the immune system and has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

[ 32 ], [ 33 ], [ 34 ], [ 35 ]

Asthenia with osteochondrosis

Osteochondrosis and psychopathological condition are similar in the mechanism of development, since both diseases cause degenerative processes. With osteochondrosis, dystrophic processes occur in cartilage and bone tissue, usually in the intervertebral discs. Bone blood supply worsens, bone tissues do not absorb calcium and, against the background of such pathological processes, various vegetative disorders occur.

Since osteochondrosis can occur as a result of injury, infection or chronic physical overexertion, the accompanying asthenic syndrome can be post-infectious, traumatic or chronic.

Symptoms:

• Frequent headaches and dizziness
• Joint and muscle pain
• Nausea
• Painful sensations in the heart area
• Weakness
• Reduced performance
• Mood swings
• Temperature fluctuations
• Decreased sexual function

The therapy uses a comprehensive approach, which includes medication, physiotherapy, reflexology, and therapeutic exercises. Healthy sleep, minimal stress, and a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals are essential.

[ 36 ], [ 37 ]

Spring asthenia

Seasonal exhaustion of the body or spring asthenic condition is a problem that occurs due to a deficiency of minerals and vitamins, a sedentary lifestyle, frequent stress and nervous disorders, irregular working hours. The syndrome is accompanied by a painful condition, fatigue, decreased performance, sleep problems, irritability.

Main features:

• Anxiety
• Increased nervous excitability
• Loss of strength and weakness
• Apathy
• Headaches and dizziness
• Absent-mindedness, difficulty concentrating

Since the disease most often occurs due to a lack of vitamins, it is necessary to replenish the supply of nutrients in the body. Pharmacy vitamin and mineral complexes rich in vitamins C, B and A are suitable for this. Despite the fact that the disorder causes increased weakness, it is not recommended to lie at home all day long. For therapeutic purposes, a 1-2 hour walk in the fresh air is perfect. This will eliminate the oxygen deficiency in the blood and improve blood circulation. Particular attention should be paid to nutrition. The diet should include fresh vegetables and fruits, natural juices and healthy herbal decoctions. Do not forget about adequate sleep and rest.

Asthenia after antibiotics

The use of antibiotics, especially long-term, has a negative impact on the functioning of all body systems. The drug causes many side effects, negatively affects the central nervous system, causing vegetative disorders in the form of psychopathological malaise.

The occurrence of disorders depends on many factors. These include the dose of the drug used, individual characteristics of the body, duration of use, form of medication (tablets, injections), as well as the disease for the treatment of which the drugs were used. Sometimes vegetative disorder occurs due to withdrawal syndrome, after stopping taking the pills.

In any case, side effects, regardless of their severity, require medical care. The patient undergoes additional diagnostics and is prescribed medications to safely restore the normal functioning of the body.
