Vegeto-vascular dystonia in young men

Doctors say: vegetative vascular dystonia in young men (or as it is also called, neurocirculatory dystonia) is not a disease, but rather a borderline condition of the body. And also - an alarming signal that you need to change your way of life urgently, otherwise serious health problems can not be avoided.

All diseases from nerves

The autonomic nervous system (VNS) is an invisible conductor, which helps the body monitor the work of all its systems and organs. It is she who coordinates the heartbeat, maintains a normal body temperature, monitors the activity of the thyroid gland, liver and kidneys. If her work fails, vegetative vascular dystonia develops. Many causes can lead to failure, for example prolonged physical or mental overload. However, often the symptoms of dystonia can be caused by latent chronic infections, craniocerebral trauma, diabetes, iodine deficiency in the body. And here's what you need to pay attention to. Pediatricians warn: a pronounced VSD syndrome can manifest itself in adolescence, when there is an endocrine, hormonal restructuring of the body of girls and boys. To ensure that in this situation, the natural process did not lead to any complications, during puberty regularly bring the teenager to a survey in the clinic. Nevertheless, the VSD syndrome has also objective (characteristic) signs. They are common to all patients. Namely: decrease in working capacity, fatigue, irritability, headaches, insomnia, excessive sweating, rapid pulse, blood pressure jumps, back pain, legs, hands, left breast, feeling of heaviness in the stomach, nausea, bitterness in the mouth, frequent state of stress. To get to the bottom of the problem, you will have to undergo a comprehensive examination of the body and get a verdict of several specialists: a therapist, a cardiologist, a neurologist, a gastroenterologist, an endocrinologist. And to get into shape, most likely, will have to reconsider the habitual way of life.

Action plan

■ Stop smoking! Nicotine paralyzes the centers of the autonomic nervous system, disrupts the regulation of the vascular tone and the work of the heart.

■ Sleep at least 8 hours a day. Of course, among doctors there is an opinion that a healthy adult body sometimes has only 4 hours of sleep to recover by morning. But the key word here is "sometimes"! If night vigils have become the norm for you, you will not be able to avoid health problems (insomnia, headaches, hyperactivity, etc.). First of all, because of the weakening of the immune system. She, too, is getting tired too.

■ A small warm-up will help to dispel the morning lethargy, which is typical for the VSD syndrome. You can do it without getting out of bed: when you wake up, immediately begin rubbing your palms until they become hot. Thus, you gently wake the whole body. Mainly due to activation of blood circulation.

■ Move more. Ride your bike, do oriental dances, walk more, climb to your floor on the stairs. Without regular physical activity, the heart muscle contracts below its capabilities, and the walls of the vessels narrow. Thus, the circulation process artificially slows down, and all internal organs and the brain receive oxygen and nutrients less physiological norm. The result is weakness, fatigue, complaints of various ailments.

■ Sign in to the pool. In the process of swimming, all muscle groups are immediately involved, blood flow increases, blood pressure stabilizes, vascular plasticity is restored, and, most importantly, the nervous system is strengthened.

■ In the evening an hour before bedtime, take a warm bath with sea salt or herbal infusions: sage, chamomile or mint (100 g of raw materials per 2 liters of water).

■ And do not forget: the main thing is calmness. It's worth a little to be worried about how the real vegetative storm begins in the body: with all the unpleasant consequences. So despite the fact that scientists have proved that the nerve cells are being restored, do not test the nervous system for strength!
