Autonomic dysfunction syndrome

What is the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction (SVD)? The very word "syndrome" reminds that this is not a disease, but a certain set of symptoms that occurs when there are certain pathological processes in the body. "Dysfunction" means a malfunction, the proper functioning of an organ or system. In this case, we are talking about the autonomic nervous system, which is one of the departments of the nervous system of the body.

Epidemiology

Vegetosovascular dystonia is a fairly common condition. About 80% of the adult population have a confirmed diagnosis of VSD, while the number of women with this diagnosis is significantly higher than the number of men with the same problem.

But the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction can not be considered a purely adult pathology. The first signs of pathology of the VNS can be noticed even in childhood, and clinical manifestations of dysfunction are observed already at the age of 18-20 years and older.

Epidemiological studies of school-age children showed that only 10% of children and adolescents do not have complaints about the functioning of the vegetative system of the body. In different regions, the number of schoolchildren who are likely to be diagnosed with vegetative dysfunction varies from 50% to 65%, and this is an occasion to seriously think about the problem and the causes of its occurrence.

[1], [2]

Causes of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction

The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction is known to many of us as vegetative vascular dystonia (VDD). Precisely to establish all the reasons for the emergence of this condition, doctors have not yet succeeded, but there is no longer any doubt that the following factors contribute to the emergence of the VSD:

• Heredity (the probability of the disease in a person whose relatives had or have such a diagnosis is 20% higher than in other people whose genus was not observed in this genus).
• Birth trauma and pregnancy of the mother, which occurs with complications, can become the cause of the onset of IRD in the child.
• Weak motor activity since childhood.
• Stressed psycho-emotional state at work and in the family for a long time.
• Systematic overwork, both mental and physical.
• Constant stress at work and at home, nervous overexertion.
• Premenstrual syndrome and urolithiasis also can cause the development of an AVR, as a systematic irritation of the peripheral parts of the autonomic nervous system (VNS) occurs.

[3], [4], [5], [6], [7]

Risk factors

To risk factors in the VSD can also be attributed:

• Craniocerebral injuries and tumors affecting the subcortical structures of the brain.
• Hormonal imbalance in the development of certain diseases of the endocrine system, as well as in pregnancy, menstruation and menopause in women.
• Various infectious diseases with the appearance of focal lesions.
• Short overstrain of strength and mind.
• Various intoxications (poisoning) of the body in everyday life and at work.
• Various operations, especially with the use of anesthesia.
• Too large or underweight.
• Disorders of the regime of the day with insufficient time for resting the body.
• The presence of bad habits.
• Moving or temporary staying in a territory with a different climate (unusual humidity and air temperature, as well as shifting the time of sleep and wakefulness).
• Osteochondrosis of the spine in any of its manifestations.

[8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]

Pathogenesis

The autonomic nervous system, sometimes called the visceral, ganglionic or autonomic nervous system, performs a regulating function for all organs, glands and vessels. Thanks to it the constancy of the internal environment of our organism and the reactions that allow us to orient ourselves well and adapt to the environment is preserved.

With dysfunction of the vegetative system, organs and vessels lose the ability to respond correctly to signals supplied by the body or from outside. Vessels begin to expand, then narrow down for no particular reason, which causes discomfort and deterioration of well-being. Careful examination in this case does not reveal any serious pathologies in the body, and all the unpleasant sensations can be related only to the malfunctioning of the autonomous nervous system.

Sometimes SVD is called a syndrome of somatoform autonomic dysfunction. This is due to the peculiarities of its manifestations, when neuro-psychic reactions cause quite real physical sensations.

The development of the pathological process contributes to the weak resistance of the organism to stressful situations, as a result of which the normal functioning of the self-regulation system is violated, i.e. The autonomic nervous system. Hereditary factors plus certain external conditions can affect the nervous regulation in the body, which leads to the emergence of numerous symptoms of VSD.

Despite the fact that the very condition of autonomic dysfunction as a whole is not dangerous, it causes a lot of unpleasant sensations, negatively affecting the quality of life of a person and the possibility of full employment.

[15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20],

Symptoms of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction

The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction is a condition of the body characterized by multiple and varied symptoms, affecting various body systems. According to various sources, about 150 different symptoms can be found and in the region of 32 syndromes of clinically manifested disorders in the body, indicating the VSD.

The most common symptoms of IRR are: dizziness and headache, hyperhidrosis (intense sweating) of the palms and feet, frequent urge to urinate not related to diseases of the genitourinary system, a slight increase in temperature without any reason, fever. In addition: violations in the genital area, increased heart rate, causeless fear, conditions close to unconsciousness, pallor of the skin, jumps of blood pressure, apparent lack of air due to inadequate inspiration. And also from the gastrointestinal tract: nausea, frequent eructations, problems with stool (diarrhea), bubbling in the abdomen, etc.

The syndrome of autonomic dysfunction often occurs with angiospasm. Angiospasm is the compression of the vessels of the brain and peripheral vessels in the limbs. Often they are accompanied by headaches against the background of a sense of compression or pressure on the temples, the frontal part or the back of the head. The appearance of such pains is associated with sharp slopes, changes in weather conditions, lowering blood pressure and sleep disorders.

The most common syndromes accompanying VSD:

• Cardiovascular, or cardiovascular, syndrome (pallor of the skin, blood pressure jumps, heart rhythm disturbances, etc.)
• Respiratory, or hyperventilation, syndrome (difficulty breathing, apparent lack of oxygen, chest pressure, etc.)
• The syndrome of mental disorders (feelings of fear, anxiety, insomnia, etc.)
• Asthenic syndrome (fast fatigue, incomprehensible weakness, sensitivity to weather change, etc.)
• Syndrome of cerebrovascular disorders (headache and dizziness, tinnitus, syncope).
• Neurohastral syndrome (incomprehensible pain in the stomach, a feeling of heartburn, difficulty swallowing liquid food, constipation, etc.).

The symptomatology of the VSD is so wide that it is simply impossible to describe all its manifestations, but according to the given symptoms it is possible to draw definite conclusions about the possibility of developing vegetative disturbances in an individual case.

Features of the manifestation of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction in people of different ages

The syndrome of autonomic dysfunction in children and newborns can be a consequence of an incorrect course of pregnancy and birth defects, and also have a genetically determined character. Oxygen starvation of the fetal brain in case of unfavorable pregnancy and childbirth, as well as birth trauma and diseases that arise in the first days of a baby's life, can adversely affect the development and functioning of the ANS. Vegetative disorders in these children most often affect the digestive system (the accumulation of gases in the intestine, frequent regurgitation and eructation, lack of good appetite), and the immune system (frequent catarrhal diseases) of the body system, and also manifest itself in the frequent vagaries and conflict nature of the child.

The syndrome of autonomic dysfunction has its continuation and development in adolescents during puberty. Active changes in the functioning of internal organs at this age are faster than the adaptation of the organism to these changes and the development of neuroregulation of these processes. This is the reason for the emergence of new symptoms, such as periodic pain in the heart, frequent dizziness and headaches, fatigue, nervousness and anxiety, impaired attention and memory, jumps or steadily increased blood pressure values.

In adults, the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction has a slightly different course, since acute nervous disorders, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular systems with their symptoms are added to the violation of nervous regulation. Plus, additional hormonal bursts associated with bearing a child (pregnancy and childbirth) and the completion of childbearing age (menopause).

[21], [22], [23]

Stages

In the course of vegetative dystonia, there are 2 stages:

• exacerbation, when the symptoms are expressed particularly clearly and in all their diversity,
• remission - weakening or complete disappearance of the symptoms of the disease.

In its course, the SVD can be permanent or paroxysmal. The permanent course of the disease is distinguished by the smoothness of the appearance of symptoms, without their amplification and weakening. The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction with vaso vegetative paroxysms passes in the form of peculiar panic attacks, when signs of vegetative disorders become more pronounced, but noticeably weaken.

[24], [25], [26],

Forms

Since the VSD has a wide variety of symptoms associated with the work of various organs, and the symptomatology of the condition varies from person to person, it has been customary in medical practice to classify several varieties of the syndrome. Their names already give an idea of possible symptoms.

1. The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction in the cardiac type is inherent in the sensations associated with the work of the heart (tingling in the region of the heart or aching pain, disturbances of the heart rhythm, arrhythmias, increased sweating).
2. Syndrome of autonomic dysfunction in the hypertensive type is characterized by an increase in blood pressure. He has the following symptoms: pain in the head, fog before his eyes or flickering, nausea with a deterioration of appetite, sometimes vomiting, hyperhidrosis, nervous tension, fears. The same symptoms may also indicate the presence of hypertension, but in this case, the use of drugs to eliminate them is not required. Usually enough rest.
3. The hypotonic type of autonomic dysfunction syndrome manifests itself as a symptomatology of low blood pressure. Against the background of a decrease in pressure to 90-100 mm. Gt; Art. There are feelings of weakness and chills, the skin becomes pale with a cold sweat, there are difficulties with inhalation and gastrointestinal disorders in the form of heartburn, nausea, and stool disorders. Syndrome of vegetative dysfunction of this type can occur with lipotymic states (a reaction close to a syncope with a weakening of the pulse and a decrease in blood pressure).
4. The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction in the vagotonic type often manifests itself in childhood in the form of rapid fatigue, poor sleep and gastrointestinal disorders. In adulthood, these symptoms can be accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure, breathing problems, slowing of the heart rate, drooling, coordination disorders.
5. The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction in a mixed type is the most common type of VSD. He has symptoms of various types of vegetative disorders plus some others, for example, erectile dysfunction in men, fainting and pre-stupor states, depression, etc.

This information is enough to make a certain diagnosis. But we must take into account that the VSD is a treacherous thing. Today you can have some symptoms prevail, and tomorrow the symptoms can radically change. Therefore, in any case there is a need to consult a specialist if you notice at least some of the above symptoms.

According to the characteristics of the causes of somatoform autonomic disorder and their effects on different parts of the autonomic nervous system, one can distinguish:

• syndrome of supra-segmental autonomic dysfunction and
• segmental disorder of the VNS.

The central department of the VNS has 2 sub-departments. Supra-segmental, or higher, vegetative centers are concentrated in the brain, and segmental (lower) - in the brain and spinal cord. The disorder of the latter happens rarely, and can be caused by neoplastic processes, the presence of osteochondrosis of the spine, various infections and associated brain diseases. All other causes of VSD are caused by supra-segmental vegetative disorders.

[27], [28], [29]

Complications and consequences

The danger of VSD is that its symptoms are similar to the manifestations of various pathological processes, such as migraine, osteochondrosis, heart attack, etc. This causes certain difficulties in diagnosing this condition. A misdiagnosed diagnosis can have unpleasant, and in some cases very dangerous, consequences.

One of the complications of SVD can be considered panic attacks, which are also called sympatoadrenal crises against the background of vegetative dystonia, because at this time there is a large release of adrenaline into the blood. But adrenaline is not so safe, especially in large quantities. It is adrenaline that increases blood pressure and inhibits the work of the heart, being a frequent cause of arrhythmia.

A large release of adrenaline stimulates the development of its opposite of norepinephrine, which provides the process of inhibition after excitation due to adrenaline. Therefore, after a panic attack, a person feels tired and broken.

And, lastly, a prolonged release of adrenaline contributes to depletion of the adrenal gland and leads to a serious illness, such as adrenal insufficiency, which can trigger a sudden cardiac arrest and the patient's death.

Another complication of VSD are vagoinsular crises with a significant release of insulin. This leads to a decrease in the level of glucose in the blood, and the person begins to feel that his heart seems to stop, the pulse slows down. The patient has a significant weakness, darker in the eyes, it becomes covered with a cold sweat.

A large amount of insulin is also dangerous, as is its lack. Insulin in excessive quantities contributes to increased blood pressure and blockage of blood vessels, which worsens blood circulation and supply of organs and tissues of the body with oxygen.

Such critical conditions, depending on the severity of the syndrome, can last from 10 minutes to 1 hour, and this should make you think about the consequences of such reactions of the body and in time to consult a doctor for advice and treatment.

Perhaps the very syndrome of vegetative dysfunction does not cause any particular harm or danger to a person, but life can spoil considerably. And not only negative feelings, but also such difficultly correctable consequences of the IRR, which had their origin even in childhood, as problems with adaptation and difficulties in learning and doing work.

[30], [31], [32]

Diagnostics of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction

Since SVD is a multisymptomatic disease, and its manifestations can affect various organs and systems, which makes the syndrome similar in symptomatology to some other diseases (osteochondrosis, myocardial infarction, CNS diseases, gastritis, etc.), diagnosis of this condition can cause certain difficulties. And the doctor can not be mistaken, because the health and even the life of the patient are at stake.

Therefore, in order to establish the correct diagnosis, it is very important to exclude or confirm the presence of other serious diseases with similar symptoms. For this purpose, instrumental diagnostics are carried out, which may include the following procedures:

• an electrocardiogram to exclude heart disease (carried out in a calm state and after certain physical exertion),
• an electroencephalogram and a dopplerography will help to exclude diseases of the vessels of the heart and brain,
• tomography of the head to identify brain diseases and various tumor processes,
• Ultrasound of various internal organs depending on the symptomatology,

In addition, measurements of blood pressure and pulse, as well as biochemical analyzes of urine and blood are carried out to determine the syndrome of vegetative dysfunction.

Differential diagnosis

The final diagnosis is made on the basis of differential diagnosis, taking into account the indications of instrumental and laboratory tests. A very important role in the diagnosis of SVD is the collection of anamnesis, which is why it is very important to tell the doctor what symptoms are present, when they appeared and how they manifest themselves in various situations, which preceded the appearance of this symptomatology.

[33], [34], [35]

Treatment of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction

Due to the extensive symptomatology and variety of causes that cause the syndrome, SVD treatment is conducted in several ways:

• Stabilization of the psychoemotional state of the patient (elimination of stress, removal of fears, etc.).
• Treatment of possible concomitant disease.
• Withdrawal of the main symptoms of AVR
• Avoidance of crises.

The approach to the prescription of medicines should be strictly individual, taking into account all the symptoms and complaints of the patient. In the treatment of SVD, neuroleptics, sedatives, nootropics, cardiovascular and other agents can be used.

• "Terialzhen" is a complex preparation that provides soothing, antiemetic, hypnotics, antitussive and other actions, which is simply indispensable in the treatment of the VSD. The drug is indicated for use since 7 years.

Dosage and route of administration. Adults, depending on the condition and the desired effect, are prescribed from 5 to 400 mg. Per day, divided into 3-4 reception. To children the preparation is appointed individually depending on age and body weight.

The drug has many side effects and contraindications, which must be read before starting the drug. Taking the drug excludes drinking during the treatment of alcohol and engaging in activities that require concentration.

• "Phenazepam" - a tranquilizer, which has a sedative and hypnotic effect. It relieves nervous tension, neurotic and depressive states, as well as convulsive reactions. This drug is indispensable for vegetative crises.

Dosage and route of administration. The daily dose of the drug is from 1.5 to 5 mg. Divide it by 2-3 times. The morning and daytime norm is 0.5-1 mg, the evening - 2.5 mg. The dose may be increased on the advice of a doctor. Usually the course of treatment is 2 weeks, but can be extended up to 2 months.

It causes various side effects on the part of many systems and organs, not life-threatening, but unpleasant, as well as drug addictive. The drug is prescribed from 18 years. Contraindications to the use of pregnancy and lactation, shock conditions, glaucoma, respiratory failure, myasthenia gravis. Before starting treatment with the drug, you should consult your doctor about the possibility of using it together with other medicines.

If symptoms of SVD increase, and "Fenazepam" was not at hand, you can do with the usual "Corvalol", which is in almost all home medicine bags and women's handbags. Enough 50 drops dissolved in a small amount of water to prevent the development of a vegetative crisis against a background of nervous overexertion.

With insufficient effectiveness of tranquilizers like "Phenazepam" or "Seduxen", especially in the case of hypertensive type of SVD, drugs that effectively lower blood pressure and eliminate the symptoms of arrhythmia can be prescribed.

A bright representative of this series of drugs is Reserpine, which removes psychotic conditions against the background of increased blood pressure. Take the drug after eating, starting at a dose of 0.1 mg 1-2 times a day. Gradually, the dosage increases to 0.5 mg per day. Increases the frequency of reception up to 3-4 times a day.

Contraindications to the use of "Reserpine" may be increased sensitivity to components, depressive conditions, delayed heart rhythm (bradycardia), ulcerous diseases of the stomach and intestines, severe cases of heart failure. Possible side effects: weakening the rhythm of the heart, redness of the eyes, a sensation of drying out of the mucous membranes of the nose, sleep disorders, weakness and dizziness.

In the hypotonic type of SVD the doctor can prescribe the drug "Sidnokarb", stimulating the action of the nervous system with a simultaneous increase in pressure.

Method of administration and dose of the drug. Tablets are taken before meals, preferably in the morning, so as not to cause sleep disturbances. The dosage of the drug is highly individual. The recommended initial dose is 5 mg. Subsequently, it can be increased to 50 mg per day. With long-term use, the dose is 5-10 mg per day. The daily dose can be taken single-time or divided into 2 divided doses.

Side effects: the appetite may decrease, dizziness and anxiety may increase, insomnia may appear. Possible allergic reactions, increased blood pressure.

With caution, take the drug simultaneously with "phenazepam". Incompatibility with monoamine oxidase inhibitors and some antidepressants. Contraindicated in pregnancy and hypertension.

Medicamentous treatment of vegetative dystonia must necessarily be supplemented with the intake of vitamin preparations and vitamin-mineral complexes. Assign vitamins such as "Quadevit", "Decamewith", "Multitabs", "Vitrum", etc.

Treatment of SVD by methods of physiotherapy

It is important to note that in the case of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction, there is not always a need for medication. If the disease runs smoothly, with a weak degree of symptoms, you can do with the methods of physiotherapy and alternative medicine. In case of paroxysmal course of the disease and marked signs of symptoms, these methods are used in conjunction with treatment with chemotherapy drugs.

With this pathology, physiotherapeutic treatment in the form of massage procedures, acupuncture, electrosleep (the effect on the brain of a pulsed current of low frequency), galvanization (the effect on the body by a constant current of weak force and voltage), electrophoresis with sedatives are very good results.

A positive effect in SVD is provided by water procedures, such as medical baths, including baths with mineral waters. Perfectly soothes the nervous system and tones the body with the massage action of the water jet when using the Charcot shower. In addition, patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome are shown: swimming in the pool, active outdoor walks, exercise therapy and respiratory gymnastics.

The main part of the methods of physiotherapy is aimed at relieving the nervous tension, the effects of stress, fears, helping the patient calm down and relax, so that the body can rest and activate its forces to combat pathology. After all, when diagnosing an AVI, it is often enough to calm down and rest, so that the symptoms of the vegetative syndrome disappear.

Alternative medicine and treatment of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction

Methods of alternative medicine in the case of SVD are so diverse and diverse, how incalculable are all the symptoms of this pathology. All of them are almost impossible to list, but, nevertheless, it is worthwhile to stop at the most interesting and accessible recipes of alternative treatment. After all, such treatment is often not only effective, but also pleasant, and it has fewer contraindications than pharmacy products. So, it can be used in pregnancy and in other cases when the use of synthetic drugs is undesirable.

Patients with a cardiac and hypertonic type of SVD can be advised to use drugs from hawthorn. They are able to significantly strengthen the heart muscle, normalize blood circulation and normalize blood pressure. The fruits of hawthorn can be consumed both fresh and dried (tinctures, decoctions, teas).

One of the most delicious medicines of alternative medicine for the treatment of the syndrome of vegetative dysfunction is warm homemade cow milk with a spoon of aromatic flower honey dissolved in it. Such a sweet drink and nerves will soothe, and sleep will strengthen.

Another tasty and useful vitamin remedy: mix dried apricots (200 g), figs, nuts and raisins (25 g each), grind the ingredients in a meat grinder or blender. Once a day, preferably in the morning, take a treat for 1 tablespoon, washing it with sour milk products (kefir, yogurt). After a month of taking a delicious medication, you need to take a one-week break, and then repeat the course.

This tool does not seem so tasty, but it is no less effective than the previous ones. Juice 5 lemons mixed with a glass of honey and chopped garlic (5 medium heads). After taking the mixture for a week, take it to meal three times a day for a teaspoon about 2 months.

Do not hurry after the New Year holidays to throw a forest beauty in the trash, because pine needles are not only a wonderful vitamin remedy, but also an indispensable assistant in strengthening the heart and blood vessels. It should be taken in the form of tea or infusion (7 tablespoons chopped pine needles per 1 liter of boiling water).

Alternative medicine for symptom relief SVD practices the following herbs and herbs:

• Grass and chamomile flowers can activate the work of the central nervous system and VNS, while possessing a soothing effect, the ability to relieve nervous tension, dilate the vessels and relieve muscle spasms. Use in the form of tea or infusion (1 tablespoon grass for a glass of boiling water).
• Valerian drug - a sedative, which has a beneficial effect on the heart and nervous system. Apply in the form of a herb on water, alcohol tincture or tablets.
• The herb of the motherwort, which is called the heart herb, also has a calming effect on the nervous system, relieves pain in the heart and a strong heartbeat. Can be used in the form of tea, infusion or chemically alcoholic tincture. To prepare the infusion take 3 tbsp. L. Herbs, pour a glass of boiling water and insist about 1.5 hours. Take before meals for 1 tbsp. L. 3-4 times a day.
• Peppermint and melissa, brewed in the form of tea, will help calm the nervous system and relieve the stress accumulated over the day, giving you a peaceful sleep and a restful rest. These herbs will help effectively fight and with a headache in the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction.
• All of the above herbs can also be used for taking medicinal baths. To do this, 250 grams of any herb or mixture of herbs boil for about 10 minutes in sufficient water and insist for an hour. The broth is filtered and added to a warm bath. The time of taking herbal medicinal baths is from 15 to 30 minutes.

Homeopathy in the treatment of SIDS

The variety of symptoms of the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction in the same patient leads to the fact that a person is prescribed several medications simultaneously for the removal of unpleasant symptoms. Prolonged intake of a large number of synthetic agents can adversely affect the work of the body's output systems, such as the liver and kidneys. Therefore, more and more patients are leaning towards homeopathic treatment, safer and more effective (effectiveness is more than 85%).

Among the popular homeopathic remedies, heart and sedatives are given.

• Cardioika is a homeopathic drug whose action is aimed at normalizing blood pressure and heart rhythm, as well as relieving pain in the heart area.

Take the drug before breakfast (for 15 minutes) for 5 granules under the tongue until complete dissolution with a monthly course. At crises, the remedy is taken two or even three times with an interval of 20 minutes. The course of treatment can be repeated after 2-3 months.

• Kralonin is a heart drug with a noticeable sedative effect. Issued in the form of a solution. Has a decreasing effect on blood pressure, eliminates heart rate irregularities and pain in the region of the heart, soothes the nervous system. It is allowed to use from 12 years.

Dosage of the drug: from 10 to 20 drops per half a cup of water (100 g) at one time. Three times a day is indicated. Usually treatment takes 2-3 weeks.

• Nervochel - a homeopathic drug that has a sedative effect, relieves depression, improves sleep. It is allowed to use from 3 years.

Take the drug three times for 1 tablet, without chewing, keeping it in your mouth until it dissolves completely. It is recommended to take the drug half an hour before meals or an hour after eating. The usual course is 2-3 weeks.

• Knott is a drug with a pronounced sedative effect. It calms the nervous system, removing overexcitement and fears accompanying the syndrome of autonomic dysfunction, improves the quality of sleep. Available in tablets and as an alcohol solution.

Dosage of the drug for adults: 1 tablet or 10 drops three times a day for half an hour before meals or an hour after it. For children under 12, the dosage is 2 times less (5 drops or half a tablet). Both tablets and drops should be held for a while in the mouth, without swallowing. Drops can be drunk by dissolving them in a tablespoon of water. In crisis conditions, the drug can be taken every half hour up to 8 times a day.

Despite all the safety of drugs used in homeopathy, their use without prior consultation with a doctor can not only not have the desired effect, but also cause irreparable harm to health when used in childhood, during pregnancy, and also with individual intolerance of certain components of homeopathic remedies .

Prevention

And yet, suffering is easier to prevent than than to suffer and treat such conditions. Especially the prevention of vegetative disorders does not provide for some unrealistic requirements. This is a healthy lifestyle, rejection of bad habits, annual preventive examinations for doctors, rational nutrition and sufficient physical activity. Must stay in the fresh air. A good effect is provided by hiking and recreation at sea.

The nutrition of adults and children should be balanced, rich in vitamins and trace elements. In spring, when the body experiences a deficiency of vitamins, an additional intake of vitamin-mineral complexes is shown. Enter in your diet herbal and fruit and berry teas from chamomile, mint, lemon balm, hawthorn, persimmons, orange and lemon crusts, which will help remove the accumulated nervous strain and saturate the body with useful substances.

It is very useful to master the methods of auto-training and relaxation in order to learn to treat rationally stressful situations and not allow the development of depressive and neurotic states. Yoga classes, reading prose and poetry (especially classics), listening to pleasant music, water procedures and quiet walks in nature all have a positive effect on the health and functioning of the nervous system.

Forecast

With timely treatment started and complex therapy, the prognosis of the syndrome of vegetative dysfunction is generally favorable. In more than 90% of cases, complete recovery of VNS functions occurs and the symptoms completely disappear.

The syndrome of vegetative dysfunction is a pathology associated primarily with disorders in the neurological field. So, you can prevent this condition, protecting yourself from stress and nervous overwork. Calm, friendly relations in the family and beyond, sufficient time for rest and sleep in childhood is the guarantee of the health of the nervous system in adulthood.
