Causes of asthenic syndrome
Many diseases can affect the development of this condition. It's just that it does not happen. So, the most common cause is the disease of the brain. It is likely that earlier the person had a traumatic brain injury, cerebral vascular lesions, transferred meningitis, encephalitis. All this can provoke a problem.
Often, the reason lies in the presence of hypertensive disease, which is characterized by an increase in pressure. Impact on the syndrome may chronic pyelonephritis, as well as other diseases that lead to the exhaustion of the body.
It can be a blood disease. For example, as iron deficiency anemia. It leads to a decrease in the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin. This is due to a significant deficit of iron.
Infectious pathologies contribute. Provoke a syndrome of tuberculosis, brucellosis. The causes can hide in increased strain on the body. This can be both physical and mental work. Exceptional loads, in the form of sharp emotional shocks, make their corrections to the human condition.

Pathogenesis
Among the etiological factors include psychosocial, infectious-immune, metabolic and neurohormonal. A man feels tired and tired. Because of this, he begins to reduce activity, does not make any effort and completely blocks the activity. The victim tries to just limit himself to everything. But, after all, this state of affairs does not change his state. Decreased activity is a well-known psychosocial factor. It entails the desire to save energy, by means of idleness.
Asthenia, in turn, represents the body's response to absolutely any state that could entail the expenditure of energy. It is necessary to understand that a person is a self-regulating system. Feel the decline of power, he can long before the energy really begins to end.
The key to the formation of asthenia is given directly to motivation. Any lack of it leads to the fact that a person simply does not want to do anything. Argumenting this with a general malaise and a decline in strength. With pathology, the activity of the reticular formation of the body trunk sharply decreases. It is here that the levels of sleep, wakefulness, perception and activity are maintained. Significantly reduced the work of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system. She is responsible for the implementation of stress.
Asthenia can be regarded as a universal protection against many negative situations. And the body adapts so quickly to it that an imaginary threat begins to appear more often. As a result, a person refuses to do anything, arguing that this is a decline of strength.
Symptoms of asthenic syndrome
The main symptoms of this pathology are: rapid fatigue and decreased efficiency. If you look at the condition of most people, then practically all of them can diagnose asthenia. This disease is most like a normal laziness and unwillingness to do anything. The organism independently "thinks out" for itself threats that can harm it.
At the person the attention and memory sharply decreases. He becomes distracted. Naturally, there is no desire to do anything, so you do not want to concentrate on something. As a result, a person becomes distracted, information is difficult to remember, and often he forgets important details.
For the syndrome is characterized by mechanical reading. A person reads, but does not understand what is at stake. The assimilation of the material does not happen, the lines go through the eyes and the information does not linger anywhere. In addition, a person can become excessively irritable and irritable. He is emotionally unstable, the mood is constantly changing, and it can happen in a few minutes. The patient is extremely difficult to bear waiting, he becomes impatient. Hearing worsen. Many sounds and noises irritate and lead to negative emotions. A similar condition can cause bright light. It leads to discomfort.
The condition is characterized by the presence of high blood pressure, spontaneous reactions, distal hyperhidrosis. Often there are problems with falling asleep, sleep is disturbed. After a night's sleep a person feels bad. He's broken, tired. Naturally, this affects its performance.
First signs
Patients with asthenia are extremely excited. They are constantly in a bad mood. Hot temper, a sharp change of mood and irritability throughout the day indicate the presence of the syndrome. The patient is always dissatisfied and tries to express his discontent with others. Capriciousness and tearfulness are also important signs of this condition. All this can change dramatically throughout the day.
Over time, there is an intolerance of bright light and loud sounds. They cause not only anger, but also fear. Often a person is harassed by headache and sleep disturbance. There is a violation of the autonomic nervous system. Patients are weather-dependent. With the fall of atmospheric pressure, they are tired and irritable.
If the cause of the pathology is brain disease, memory impairment is not excluded. The first manifestation of pathology is a strong fatigue, as well as irritability augmented by impatience.
When the pathology arises against the background of the craniocerebral trauma, there is weakness, headache and an influx of thoughts, most often of a negative nature. This condition was called asteno-vegetative syndrome. If the problem has arisen against the background of acute illnesses, then the person suffers from increased sensitivity and emotional weakness. But, what is most interesting, the patient quite easily tolerates emotional tension. With atherosclerosis, fatigue, tearfulness and bad mood are observed.
The mental form of pathology is characterized by incontinence of emotions. Man can not control himself. He can be overcome by causeless weakness, tearfulness. Thinking is difficult and specific. In other organic pathologies, mental weakness, incontinence, euphoria and irritability develop.
Types of asthenic syndrome
There are several main types of syndrome. Postgrippoznaya asthenia. With a light form of flow, it has a hypersthenic form. Patients suffer from internal nervousness, irritability. In the room, a person is not able to adapt, it is troubled by discomfort, working capacity is reduced, fussiness manifests a long time. Such a state can persist constantly. Over time, it goes into another form, which disrupts work capacity and constantly pursues a sense of discomfort. The patient is not ready to perform physical or mental activity. Many patients complain of fatigue.
- Post-traumatic disorders. A functional and organic character is inherent in this state. The duration of the disorder can be several months. In this case, there is weakness, a decrease in memory, a range of interests and there is complete indifference. Exacerbation of this form occurs against the background of the influenza, acute respiratory infections and even minor stresses. Any work leads to fatigue.
- In diseases of the vessels of the brain. This form is similar in appearance to posttraumatic. When the diseases of the vessels of the brain often there is fatigue and there is a sharp decline in efficiency. Any stress leads to a worsening of the condition. Constantly there is a feeling of powerlessness.
- Asthenia of hypertonic etiology. Fatigue appears even before work commences. Usually the condition improves by the middle or end of the day. Decrease in working capacity and feeling of fatigue completely depend on a kind of activity of the person. Often, this type occurs against the background of circulatory disorders.
- With tuberculosis. The state is constantly replaced by a touch of euphoria. Patients simply refer to their disease. At the same time, physical and mental exhaustion is felt. There is a tendency of anger towards others and isolation.
- With rheumatism. This type is characterized by impatience, decreased mood and constant nervousness. If the nervous system is affected, deep disturbances appear. With endocrine diseases asthenia can carry both hyposthenic or hypersthenic character, and a mixed character.
- With diabetes. The condition is characterized by a decrease in working capacity, as well as increased distraction. There is fatigue, sleep disturbance and headaches. A person is prone to vegetative disorders and vascular dysfunctions. There is a decrease in mood.
- With a stomach ulcer and with ulcer of the duodenum. In this case, the pathology manifests itself in the form of nervousness. The pain syndrome is unnerving and infuriating.
- With cirrhosis of the liver. Pathology begins its manifestation from the very morning. Usually it is a vegetative disorder. Irritability can be replaced by weakness or be present with it. There is increased sensitivity, punctuality, conflict, suspicion and grumbling. It is not excluded sleep disturbance and drowsiness throughout the day.
- With angina pectoris. The victim is irritable, he always has a bad mood and resentment. Sleep alarming, it is often accompanied by fears and fears.
Nervous-asthenic syndrome
This is the most common neurasthenia. It is a common form of neurosis. The human nervous system in this state is greatly weakened. This is due to overstrain of inhibitory or irritative processes. Therefore, a person is constantly in a bad mood and can "break out" at any time.
It is worth noting that this manifestation of pathology is the most striking. Man can not control his own condition. He is constantly harassed by irritability and sharp temper. And in many cases, the victim himself does not understand where this conflict comes from. After an attack of aggression, the condition stabilizes, and the person behaves as if nothing had happened.
The patient is able to self-aggravate fatigue. Therefore, in this state, the subjective component of fatigue is more often mentioned. It is difficult to distinguish the true mood of a person, because it changes quickly, and not always for this there are reasons.
Severe asthenic syndrome
This condition is characteristic of organic brain lesions. People suffering from pathology are excessively vulnerable and sensitive to irritants. They are extremely difficult to tolerate even minor disorders. Naturally, the mental state of the patient is tense. The main complaints are headache, absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, dizziness and almost impossible to concentrate. Vestibular disorders often occur, especially when driving in transport and watching TV
Living with such a state is not so simple. But, much depends on the person himself. If he will cheat less and just try to live a normal life, then obsessive states will disappear by themselves. Expressed form of the disease can manifest itself at any age. The main thing is to notice it in time and try to deal with the problem. This is especially important in adolescence, when the human psyche has not yet recovered.
Cerebro-asthenic syndrome
This syndrome is characterized by the presence of violations associated with the intellectual and emotional sphere of human activity. Most often, uncontrollable emotions manifest themselves. And they can be both positive and negative. Man is not able to control himself, and is prone to outbursts of anger.
Often, the reaction is slow and unable to volitional reactions. That's why people do not have motivation and most often do not want to struggle with their own condition. They understand that they are doing something wrong, that emotions should be controlled, but the lack of desire descends everything on its own accord.
The cause of this symptom is a violation of the metabolism of neurons of the brain. This occurs against the background of a previous infection, trauma or complete intoxication of the body. The course of the pathology depends entirely on the person. It is necessary to learn to control one's own emotions.
Asthenic syndrome after influenza
If the flu has passed in a mild form, then the asthenia has a hypersthenic form. Thus, patients suffer from internal nervousness and irritability. This condition can provoke disadaptation. The patient is not able to concentrate his attention, join the team. He finds it difficult to find a common language with employees, there is an unwillingness to work.
The patient suffers from a feeling of internal discomfort. Working capacity is reduced, there is fussiness. This species can pester a person for a long time. Gradually, he goes into another form. In this case, you are not ready to do any work. Whether it's mental activity or physical activity. Work capacity is disrupted, there is discomfort. Most patients do not in any way associate their condition with the previously transmitted influenza. Naturally, there is no acknowledgment of any deviations.

This condition can occur in both adults and children. Basically, it develops against a background of a severe infection that has depleted the body. The syndrome can occur when adverse factors influence. It can be stress, psychological conditions. And the negative impact has both quarrels in the family, and the fear of being in a new team. Often the manifestation of the syndrome is compared with the first stage of neurologic or psychiatric pathology.
To date, the rhythm of human life has changed significantly. Therefore, the problem began to manifest itself more often. Increased emotional and physical stress often leads to a problem. Restore the body is impossible even with prolonged rest. It requires medical correction of the condition with the help of medications. Therefore, you can not try to cope with the problem on your own. It is necessary to enlist the help of specialists.
Vegeto-asthenic syndrome
This syndrome is able to develop in a person of any age. Excessive loads can provoke it. Eliminate the symptoms is not so simple. Ordinary rest is not enough, you need a medical correction of the condition.
Lead to the problem of excessive mental overload. To develop pathology is possible against the background of the transferred infectious diseases, as well as injuries. Impact on development is capable of mental turmoil, heavy physical labor and chronic lack of sleep. Flights, relocations and shift work (day-night) make their own adjustments.
The main sign of pathology is a decrease in working capacity. This is clearly expressed with intellectual load. Patients may suffer from memory failures, the inability to quickly formulate their own thoughts. The person is heavily involved in the work. He is constantly harassed by fatigue, a decline in productivity.
Often disturbed sleep disturbance, the presence of a headache, rapid pulse, a sense of lack of air. Skin covers of the patient can become sensitive, because of this, excessive irritability develops. Disturbances of digestion, cardiac activity and respiration are not excluded. In this case, the patient feels pain in the heart, stomach, chest and right side.
Asthenic Depressive Syndrome
People who suffer from this syndrome are characterized by mood jumps. A person can be filled with euphoria and at the same time appear excessive temper and aggressiveness. Is with such a "patient" is difficult. Against the background of all, a bad memory is shown. The impossibility to memorize significant dates appears, the memorization of important matters is deteriorating, etc.

- There is excessive impatience. Waiting becomes something beyond the power. There is no possibility to wait, I want to get what I want immediately. Finally, manifested hypochondria. The patient instantly discovers a mass of pathologies and diseases. Scrolling through a medical guide or Internet pages, diseases are detected. Although in reality the person is completely healthy. In this regard, obsessive thoughts come.
Anxiety-asthenic syndrome
This condition is especially pronounced in women during menopause. There are a lot of disorders, but against the background of this syndrome, the condition deteriorates sharply. Affect the development of the pathological process is capable of divorce, the inability to have children, a stressful situation, lack of education and the postpartum period. Simply put, to cause a state ordinary everyday problems are capable. True, for people with asthenia they pass with special emotionality.
The asthenic syndrome is known to many. Everyone is capable of succumbing to his influence. But especially vulnerable are people engaged in excessive physical and mental activity, without proper rest. The main manifestations of pathology: fatigue, touchiness, tearfulness, irritability, decreased activity.
This condition occurs in almost every second woman. To supplement the symptomatology is capable of palpitation, arrhythmia, a feeling of lack of air and increased pressure. Often there is general discomfort. Anything can add to sleep disorders. A person for a long time can not fall asleep, his sleep is restless.
This condition is typical for women with surgical menopause. The frequency of such disorders is high. Typically, the syndrome is characterized by signs of depression. Feels longing, sleep disturbance, suicidal thoughts, guilt feelings.
Cephalgic asthenic syndrome
To date, cephalalgia is one of the most common secondary syndromes. Most diseases are affected by severe pain in the brain. The cause of the syndrome is a violation of metabolism, the presence of infectious, inflammatory and cancer diseases, as well as the wrong regime of the day.
The person is not affected by strong irritability, but there is a constant headache. Pain syndrome is observed in the region of the brain. The most pronounced is the symptom in children. There is this against the background of hereditarily conditioned cycles of exchange of the main "bearers of the senses" - mediators, for example, histamine.
Bad habits, wrong way of life and constant work at the computer quite often lead to the appearance of the syndrome. In combination with hereditary predisposition, the condition can be complicated. In especially severe cases, a headache can be complicated by a stroke or a heart attack.
To diagnose this condition, you need to identify the real cause. After all, it can hide in many diseases. This condition is really difficult and people can not always guess about its availability.
Moderate asthenic syndrome
The main distinguishing feature of this syndrome is the changes at the level of social activity. Often an anxiety manifests itself, it does not allow a person to realize himself as a person. He is pestered by his own condition. After all, he wants a lot, but he is not able to do anything because of his own fear. Depressions with obsessive-phobic components, with hairspotaches are often found.
Diagnosing pathology in this case is quite simple. It is enough to pay attention to a person's condition. Usually, he has a depressive mood, and also reduces interest in his own life. A person does not get pleasure from his own activity. There is practically no energy for doing anything. These are the main symptoms, other signs may accompany them.
Often the patient has an uncaused sense of guilt and self-condemnation. He often thinks about death or suicide. Concentration of attention is reduced, there is indecision, sleep disturbances and changes in appetite. Lasts for at least 2 weeks. If after this time a person does not feel relief, then the reason lies in the asthenic syndrome.
Alcoholic asthenic syndrome
This syndrome for the first stage of alcoholism is mandatory. It can occur during a period of severe alcohol abuse. Most often this occurs before a person becomes an alcoholic and has a strong dependence.
The specific specificity of manifestation is not a problem. Asthenic syndrome in all its manifestations has similar signs. So, first of all there is a decrease in working capacity. Changing sleep and wakefulness, as well as the reverse process is somewhat difficult. Mental and physical stress are difficult to transfer. There is a special sensitivity to almost any kind of activity.
Most often, the problem arises not only among alcoholics, but also in people associated with the production of alcoholic beverages. It is important not to confuse chronic alcoholism with manifestations of asthenia. So, with asthenic syndrome it is difficult to fall asleep. Alcoholism is characterized by a heavy awakening.
Perhaps the most interesting is that the symptomatology can manifest itself even if a person has stopped drinking. As a rule, a person is not able to characterize his state. He puts everything on problems related to work and family relations. Allegedly for this reason, he drinks and he is tormented by various symptoms. The alcoholic refuses to acknowledge the presence of uncontrolled drunkenness.
Stages of asthenic syndrome
There are three main stages of the disease. Thus, for the first species, the excitation processes that predominate over inhibition are characteristic. A person understands that it's time to rest, but due to some circumstances he does not and continues to work. The main features of this stage are: increased activity, the desire to perform several work processes simultaneously. True, there are difficulties in the perception of certain tasks.
The second stage is characterized by excessive fatigue. A person realizes that he needs rest, he is not able to perform work because of fatigue. But, nevertheless, stopping yourself is not possible.
Finally, the third phase, it takes place in extremely severe form. The patient appears apathy, he is not able to sleep. In addition, severe headaches are aroused, depression and neuropsychiatric disorders develop. Monitor the patient's own condition is not in force.
Effects
If you do not start struggling with your own condition, it can get worse. Often asthenia passes into neurasthenia, constant depression and hysteria. To live with such "qualities" to a person is very difficult. Chronic disorders lead to the fact that the patient simply is not able to concentrate his attention on anything. There is absent-mindedness. Because of this, people, whose activities are connected with the adjustment of equipment, are not able to do this. After all, they forget what and how to establish and how to build a working day.
If neurasthenia is manifested, the special commission of the WEC establishes disability. In many cases, the victim is advised to switch to another job. The success of the treatment of the syndrome depends entirely on the person himself. Taking medication is good, but not wanting to break out of this state only aggravates the situation. The more optimistic the person is, the higher the chances of a general recovery. It is necessary to understand that asthenia can arise in everyone, the main thing is to diagnose it in time and choose the best approach to treatment.
Complications
Asthenic syndrome is a complex process of physical and psychological weakness. This condition needs to be controlled and treated on time. Often, the syndrome is associated with chronic fatigue, which can develop against a catarrhal disease that requires certain treatment. If you do not start to fix the problem, it can worsen.
So, neurasthenia often occurs. The person has an incredible number of symptoms, all of them diverse. In one moment the mood can be normal, in the other it changes radically. Constant fatigue, nervous tension and conflictiness prevent a person from living normally. In most cases, the patient thinks that all this is due to overwork. Few people suspect that this is a serious disorder.
It is necessary to understand that asthenia reduces the standard of living several times. This is due to the increased threshold of irritability. Man is not able to concentrate, the world for him becomes faded. This pathology is not capable to pass independently, it needs to be cleaned with the help of special therapy. This is the only way to avoid complications. After all, such a state can persecute a person all his life.
Diagnosis of asthenic syndrome
Diagnosis is mainly based on anamnesis. The doctor collects complaints of the patient and on a symptomatology defines deviations. Usually, it is not difficult to identify asthenia. The main task of diagnostics is not only to identify the problem itself, but also the reasons that provoked it.
The first thing is going to anamnesis. It is important to tell the doctor how long the symptoms have appeared, what kind of lifestyle people lead. Important information is the type of activity, its complexity, work schedule, direct responsibilities. It is important to indicate the level of physical and mental loads. Emotional shocks, the presence of chronic diseases and high blood pressure can give a complete picture of what is happening. Therefore, you can not miss these moments.
Asthenic syndrome can manifest itself against a background of many diseases. Therefore, it is not only necessary to collect anamnesis, but also to pass tests, and also to undergo a whole range of special procedures. First of all, a blood test, urine, pressure is measured. Echo cardiography, fibrogastroduodenoscopy, MT and ultrasound are performed. Based on the findings, you can put the correct diagnosis. Detailed information on diagnostic methods will be described below.
Analyzes
When asthenia, analyzes play an important role. But to determine the state of a person only on them, it is impossible. You need to have a complete picture of what is happening. For this, instrumental and differential diagnosis is performed, and a complete history of the patient's life is collected.
As an auxiliary data, it is recommended to take a blood test. Any changes in it will indicate the presence of any process in the body. The pathological syndrome does not arise simply because it is preceded by either heavy loads or certain diseases. Define asthenia by analysis can not, but to identify the disease that could cause it - easily.
In addition to the blood test, you will have to pass a urinalysis. With a pathological syndrome, blood pressure often rises. Therefore, to measure its level is also necessary. Based on the findings, you can diagnose, but for completeness of the picture, other methods are used.
Instrumental diagnostics
In view of the fact that the problem can be caused by a number of diseases, it is customary to conduct multiple studies. The first thing a person is sent to echocardiography. This procedure will assess the status of heart function, as well as the ability to distill blood. Changes in the body's work are clearly visible in chronic heart failure.
FGDS (fibrogastroduodenoscopy). This method allows you to assess the state of the stomach. The test is performed using a special tube that is inserted into the stomach through the mouth. At its end is a light bulb and a video camera. This allows you to see ulcers, as well as any changes in the gastric mucosa.
Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. These methods of research are closely related. They allow you to assess the state of the brain, as well as to detect the consequences in them after the craniocerebral trauma. Finally, ultrasound is widely used. It allows to assess the state of the vessels of the brain and to detect their defeat. Together, these methods give a complete picture of what is happening. Often, an expert in neurological consultation is referred to as instrumental diagnosis.
Differential diagnostics
This type of research includes analyzes. To diagnose the presence of asthenia with the help of them is impossible. This technique will identify the diseases that contributed to its development. The first thing is to give a blood test. He will determine whether signs of inflammation or anemia are possible.
Analysis of urine. Thanks to this research it will be possible to identify the signs of inflammation, as well as the presence of blood in it. Blood in the urine is the most common symptom for pyelonephritis. This is a chronic inflammation of the renal system.
Important is the measurement of blood pressure. It is most pronounced for asthenia. A man is pestered not only by increased irritability and excitability, but also by general malaise. According to the analysis, you can identify the true cause of the syndrome. But for completeness of the picture it is recommended to make instrumental diagnostics. This will correctly diagnose the problem and prescribe the right treatment.
