Vegetative dystonia is a disease of the XXI century

All people have a nervous system responsible for a sufficiently large number of different functions in our body, for example, for movement, for reflexes, for instincts, for emotions and so on. Each of its areas provides certain tasks. One of them is the vegetative system. First of all, its main purpose is to regulate the body's vital functions in a situation of stress and rest. For example, when a person is tense or resting, this department is engaged in that it relaxes muscles, lulls, or, on the contrary, excites.

Autonomic dystonia includes a complex of various functional disorders. The basis of these are the problems associated with the regulation of vascular tone. In other words, when a person has a violation of the autonomic nervous system in the body, he begins to "confuse" when it is necessary to relax, and when to be toned. For example, at night you need to rest, but not to activate. Otherwise, "untimely" vivacity can lead to pressure jumps or the appearance of muscle clamps.

In most people, vegetative dystonia occurs in a passive form, exacerbating only in the off-season, after stress and stress. It is most often expressed in headaches, weakness, rapid fatigue, a feeling of lack of air and a tendency to fainting. This symptomatology doctors refer to the psychosomatic manifestations of such a disease as autonomic dystonia. Treatment should not be put off in a "long box". To begin it it is necessary with visiting of the neuropathologist, the therapist and the psychiatrist.

The basis of treatment is the restoration of the balance of the departments of the nervous system. For this, two basic approaches are used:

1. At the very beginning of the appearance of such a disease as vegetative vascular dystonia, the best medicine will be rest, proper nutrition, rejection of bad habits, therapeutic exercise.

If its manifestations are more acute, the doctor may be prescribed sedatives. In some cases even antidepressants prescribe. However, the use of chemical preparations is not desirable in the treatment of diseases of the nervous system, since its work is not fully understood, only a small part of those substances that are involved in the main reactions are known to mankind. Moreover, there is a possibility that after the cessation of taking such drugs the body will again return to its unbalanced state. This happens for the simple reason that chemical preparations do not eliminate the imbalance itself, but, first of all, relieve the symptoms.

2. Consequently, autonomic dystonia requires a slightly different approach. It is more labor-consuming than just "drinking a pill", however it is more effective. Initially, it is necessary to "accustom" the nervous system to work in normal mode. Relaxation and a sport lifestyle will help in this. Over time, the body will learn how to properly include the necessary departments. For the purpose of relaxation, techniques such as autogenic training, meditation, yoga, systemic rest are used. During active activities it is desirable to go jogging, swimming, skiing and tempering ... These methods will help to eliminate some of the accompanying chronic diseases.

Thus, timely actions aimed at getting rid of the disease "vegetative dystonia", in almost 90 percent of cases lead either to the complete disappearance of symptoms, or to their significant decrease, and also help restore the adaptive forces of the body.
