Susceptibility to changing weather is a warning signal. Our body, as it were, informs us, in this way about the disorder of fine nervous regulation. In this situation, the vegetative group of nerves "pass". These nerves control the activity of internal organs, as well as vessels. The autonomic nervous system (VNS) is able to help the human body to react correctly to a change in the situation of any nature: jumps in humidity, temperature, stress, etc.
In addition, the VNS is engaged in monitoring the process of metabolism, body temperature of the person and is responsible for sleep. If, to some extent, the disorder of these links is observed, then the doctors diagnose "vegeto-vascular dystonia" (VSD).
This disease is mainly found in the fair sex. To the group of risk factors that can lead to the emergence of VSD include the following diseases:
- neuroses;
- gastritis;
- toxicosis;
- allergy.
The main signs of impaired functioning of the autonomic nervous system
The following signs are indicative of the following:
- the appearance in the mouth of dryness, the trembling of the eyelids or hands during excitement;
- insomnia in stressful situations;
- constant retention of slightly increased or decreased body temperature;
- dyspnea;
- the instability of blood pressure;
- during weather variability there are headaches and dizziness;
- when weather changes, absent-mindedness, memory impairment;
- a sharp throw in the heat or cold;
- weakness is replaced by a surge of strength.
What can lead to a breakdown of the ANS?
What to do if you found yourself having several signs of disturbing the normal functioning of the VNS. Fight or let it all go by itself, maybe it will pass by itself?
Of course, small disorders of the activity of the ANS over time can pass by themselves. But, note that the VSD is very dangerous because at any moment it can lead to a major malfunction, similar to a heart attack. At this point, you can feel a sharp heartache, a sharp decline in strength, chills. Blood pressure may rise, the upper and lower extremities may become cold, and anxiety and fear may come. This state of man frightens himself and frightens close people, called an ambulance, but it turns out that it was an attack of the VSD and it was enough to drink medicines.
But why does this condition arise in a person who complained only of magnetic storms? The fact is that all the malfunctions in the work of the VNS gradually accumulated in the human body. In this case, there will be a small "trigger mechanism" and there will be a breakdown.
Any infection, trauma, stressful situation can become such a "trigger mechanism". Smoking and alcohol can also negatively affect the autonomic nervous system. After all, spasms of cerebral vessels are caused by cigarettes, and binge will affect the work of the vegetative centers of the brain, as well as the activity of the endocrine glands.
Ways to strengthen the autonomic nervous system:
If you know that you are predisposed to the VSD, then do not bring this disease to the attack, and take care of precautions:
- Watch yourself and take care of yourself
Attentively listen to your feelings. If you are leaning forward, you feel dizzy and nauseous, then take an urgent examination. If in bright light you have a sudden change of mood, distraction of attention, dizziness and strong weakness, then be sure to go to the doctor.
Take a contrast shower every morning and evening. He is able to cure even too neglected VSD. Water direct all over your body and turn around with your head. After showering, do not immediately wipe yourself with a towel. First you need to feel the feeling of vivacity and the inflow of warmth to the skin. In the evening instead of the shower you can take a warm relaxing bath with pine needles or sea salt.
- Buy a Pedometer
Try to be more outdoors, to increase physical activity. After a while your state of health will improve. Walk daily at least 5 kilometers. Buy a pedometer that will help you calculate by steps the path you traveled. At least 12,000 steps are required per day.
- Do not take on too much
You should give up the load that you will not be able to withstand. Do not harm yourself. During colds, lie more in bed. And do not try to bear the disease on your feet.
- Learn to relax
You should learn some technique of self-regulation / self-control. This can be auto-training, yoga, tai-chi, etc. If you do not have too much time to practice these techniques, then master the simplest relaxation techniques. So, for example, lie on your back and imagine how your entire body gradually relaxes, starting with the toes, and then up the body, and ending with the muscles of the face. Take deep breaths and exhale with your eyes closed.
- Sleep more
Do not skimp on a night dream. After all, it is in a dream that the forces lost in the day are restored, and the whole organism is adjusted to normal functioning the next day. Sleep also has a positive effect on the entire nervous system.

Immediately refuse to clarify any relationship. The patient should be put in bed in a dark room. He should take any sedative.
If the attack does not recede for some time, you should seek medical help. An ambulance doctor will prescribe medications that promote normal cerebral circulation, improve vascular tone, reduce excitability. In addition, therapeutic souls, oxygen baths, massage, laser therapy, acupuncture, ultrasound can be prescribed.
