htmlMs. Cai, who is in her 340s, is the person in charge of a listed company. She has done a lot of business and is very busy at work. Especially in recent years, the epidemic has caused the company's performance to decline, which has caused her to be under great pressure on her daily life.
In the past year, Ms. Cai felt various discomforts in her body. , for example, she is very prone to anxiety and irritability, and she will get angry if she is a little bit angry. Secondly, her sleep quality has severe decline. She feels hot after covering the quilt, but she feels cold when she lifts the quilt. Every time she wakes up, she is sweating and frequently feels panic and dizzy. During this period, Ms. Cai has also been to the hospital several times, but various physical examinations have not found any problems. was finally diagnosed with autonomic nervous system dysfunction after being evaluated by a neurologic expert. The doctor formulated a plan for psychological counseling and drug treatment based on Ms. Cai's situation, and Ms. Cai's symptoms were soon controlled.
Autonomous nerve disorders are one of the common neurological diseases in clinical practice, and they are more common in people with long-term mental stress and excessive psychological pressure. Among them, women around 50 years old are one of the most prone to autonomic nerve disorders, which is directly related to changes in their menopause hormone levels . Autonomous nerve disorders are called clinical strange diseases. They have many clinical manifestations, such as insomnia, night sweats, spontaneous sweats, , anxiety, etc. Secondly, they may have abnormal functions in multiple systems of the human body, such as palpitations, chest tightness, , diarrhea, abdominal distension, dizziness, headache, etc. Although symptoms do exist, most patients' functional examinations are normal, so it is very easy to misdiagnose and misdiagnose in clinical practice. Therefore, accurately identifying autonomic nerve disorders and active treatment are the key to preventing this disease.
1. Why do autonomic nerve dysfunction occur?
Before answering this question, I need to explain to you what autonomic is. The human body has two sets of nervous system , , among which the non-automatic nervous system supervisor skeletal muscle exercise , The main feature is that it can be influenced by the subjective consciousness of the human body, and can complete various fine movements under the control of the brain ; Autonomous nervous system is also called the autonomic nervous system , which is mainly composed of a large number of sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves, is widely distributed in multiple organs such as the heart, blood vessels, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, brain, glands, etc., and is responsible for regulating many key functions of the human body, such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, defecation, urination, metabolism, etc. , and this regulation is not affected by the body's subjective consciousness. Therefore, maintaining the normal function of the autonomic nervous system is an important guarantee for maintaining human health .
Under normal circumstances, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system are in a dynamic balance . The two experience interactive excitement according to physical needs, but they will also reduce excitement as the demand decreases. However, under the influence of mental tension, excessive stress or adverse stimulation, the balance between the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve will be broken, resulting in excessive excitability of the sympathetic nerve , which in turn leads to abnormal function of the autonomic nervous system.
Since the autonomic nervous system is very widespread, this also leads to the clinical symptoms of patients with autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Secondly, long-term autonomic nervous system dysfunction will even directly affect the function of the organs , especially the cardiovascular system and digestive system. Patients will experience palpitations, palpitations, , chest tightness, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms without obvious causes. These symptoms will aggravate the patient's anxiety and depression. Therefore, do not ignore the harm of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, actively treat and adjust the neurological state .
2. Pay attention to the clinical manifestations of autonomic nervous system dysfunction
The clinical symptoms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction are very diverse, and most of them are not obvious specific, so they are easy to miss diagnosis clinically. If your body experiences multiple discomforts and there are no obvious abnormalities in various examinations, you should consider the possibility of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. The following 4 symptoms are the most obvious.
1, frequent spontaneous sweating and night sweating
3 Autonomous nerves are the main nerves that control sweat gland secretion. They can open and close or close sweat glands according to the external environment and the human body's own needs, so as to adjust the body's body temperature and metabolism by controlling sweating. However, due to abnormal nerve function in patients with autonomic nerve dysfunction, sweat secretion is often abnormal. Most patients will experience abnormal conditions such as spontaneous sweating and night sweating at the beginning of the disease, and will experience a decrease in body temperature regulation function. For example, covering the quilt will overheat, and lifting the quilt will cause chills. Some patients even experience serious abnormalities such as wearing cotton jackets in summer, and these are actually related to the inability of autonomic nerve function to control sweat gland secretion and regulate body temperature.
2. Unexplained anxiety, anger or suspicion, are often accompanied by sleep disorders
The autonomic nervous system has a significant impact on the secretion of central neurotransmitters . If there is a abnormal function, it will lead to abnormal synthesis and secretion of multiple neurotransmitters, which can easily cause emotional and mental changes. , , among which emotional instability is the most obvious, , patients are mostly irritable and anxious, angry, and suspicious, and sometimes they are not interested in anything; secondly, sleep disorder is also one of the manifestations of abnormal central nervous system dysfunction , patients are mostly dysfunctional, and are prone to wake up after sleep. At the same time, they can be accompanied by memory loss, , inattention and other symptoms.
3. It is prone to palpitations and palpitations, and is often accompanied by headaches and dizziness
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are the main nerves that regulate vasoconstriction and heart beat. Therefore, the functional status of the autonomic nerve will directly affect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular . If there is a dysfunction, the patient will be able to do so. Corresponding symptoms appear, among which sympathetic nerve excitation increases, patients with are prone to symptoms of palpitations and palpitations, which are mostly attacked in a short period of time, especially when they are emotionally excited, is most obvious; secondly, patients with are prone to frequent headaches and dizziness, because vasoconstriction causes insufficient blood supply to the brain .
4, Unexplained appetite, abdominal distension, diarrhea,
Autonomous nerve disorders can also easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction , especially to gastrointestinal peristalsis and gland secretion, . Patients will experience clinical reactions such as loss of appetite, acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, hiccups, and hiccups due to slowing gastrointestinal peristalsis and abnormal gland secretion. However, there is no obvious abnormality in the gastroenteroscope. This is because the root cause is abnormal nerve function, so adjusting nerve function is the key.
3. Scientifically take 5 drugs to prevent and treat autonomic nervous system dysfunction
Drug is a first-line therapy for clinical treatment of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. By taking drugs, the excitatory state of the autonomic nerve can be adjusted in time, and the direct functional balance between the sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve can be promoted, thereby effectively reducing various clinical manifestations. The following 5 drugs are commonly used in clinical practice to prevent and treat autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
1, guaverin
guaverin is one of the main drugs for clinical treatment of autonomic nervous system disorders. Its essence is a central neurotransmitter, which can effectively adjust the functional state of the autonomic nerves and inhibit the excitability of the sympathetic nerves. At the same time, guaverin has the effects of central sedation and antidepressant anxiety, which can effectively promote sleep and improve patients' anxiety state., but it should be noted that guamin is a fat-soluble nutrient. Taking it for a long time with large doses can easily cause the accumulation of drugs and cause many adverse reactions, such as hair loss , obesity, excessive secretion of skin oil, etc., so it is not suitable for long-term use; secondly, guamin has a certain irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract and is prone to gastrointestinal reactions, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc.; finally, a very small number of patients are allergic to guamin, and are prone to allergic reactions such as rash, itching, etc. after taking it. It is recommended to stop taking .
2, vitamin B1
Vitamin B1 has become thiamine again and is one of the members of the B vitamin family. It has multiple functions such as nutritional nerves, regulating nerve functions, and promoting energy metabolism. It is often used in combination with gussu in clinical practice to treat autonomic nerve dysfunction. , but it should be noted that long-term oral administration of vitamin B1 can easily cause neurological poisoning reactions, manifested as numbness of the limbs, abnormal oral and tongue sensation, etc. Therefore, it is not recommended to take it for a long time, and it is enough to take it for 1-3 months. Secondly, a few patients will experience liver function abnormality after taking vitamin B1, but most of them can tolerate it. You can also temporarily stop the medication or reduce the dose of .
3, vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin , is one of the important nutrients. It plays an important role in the growth and repair of nerves, the generation of red blood cells, etc., especially its protective effect on central nervous cells can effectively promote the secretion of various neurotransmitters. In clinical practice, vitamin B12 and vitamin B1 are used to treat various neurological diseases. , but it should be noted that taking vitamin B12 can cause gastrointestinal reactions such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, stomachache, ; secondly, a few patients will experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, etc.; finally, a very small number of patients will experience limb numbness, tremor, and other nerve damage symptoms .
4, esazolam
3 Esazolam is a benzodiazepine sleeping pill that promotes sleep and antidepressant anxiety. It is suitable for treating patients with autonomic neurological disorders with obvious sleep disorders. It can not only improve sleep quality, but also significantly relieve the patient's anxiety state. , but it should be noted that esazolam has a significant impact on breathing and blood pressure, so patients with sleep apnea or hypotension are cautious; secondly, long-term oral esazolam is addictive, so it is recommended to take it in a short period of time, and it is not recommended to take it for a long time; finally, the most common adverse reactions to esazolam are dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth , headache, etc., which can tolerate .
5, paroxetine
paroxetine is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, suitable for treating patients with severe autonomic neurological disorders and accompanied by obvious emotional abnormalities. It can effectively alleviate the patient's anxiety and depression mental state and improve the patient's various clinical symptoms. , but it should be noted that oral administration of paroxetine can easily lead to adverse reactions such as dry mouth, constipation, and loss of appetite; secondly, a few patients will experience pyramidal tides and fatigue during the medication period.
4. In addition to drug treatment, actively improving living habits is the key
It is not enough to use drugs to prevent and treat autonomic neurological disorders, because bad external factors can still induce recurrence. Therefore, actively improving one's own living habits and reducing the impact of adverse factors is an important principle for preventing and treating this disease. We can start from the following 4 points and actively improve our own living conditions.
1. Establish normal routines
Excessive stressful work and life rhythm is an important cause of autonomic nervous system disorders. We should adjust our own life rhythm and ensure normal routines, especially to ensure sufficient sleep time. When you should work, you should rest and rest, and never stay up late to work.
2. Actively soothe your own emotions
A good mental state is a basic measure to prevent and treat autonomic nerve energy supply disorders. Good psychological counseling can effectively reduce psychological pressure and relieve the impact of bad emotions on autonomic nerve function. For this reason, we can actively consult professional psychologists, talk more with relatives and friends, or participate in outdoor activities more.
3. Actively cultivate interests and hobbies
Cultivating your own interests and hobbies is an effective means to prevent and treat autonomic nervous system disorders. In particular, one or two sports hobbies can be cultivated, such as walking, badminton, swimming, etc., which can not only exercise the body, but also soothe emotions, and can also help regulate the functions of the autonomic nerves.
4. Actively cooperate with clinical treatment
Patients suffering from autonomic neurological disorders must actively cooperate with the clinician's treatment plan, take relevant drugs regularly and in a regular and quantitative manner, and go to the hospital for re-examination and treatment. Do not stop or stop the medicine at will, as it may easily cause recurrence of symptoms.
5. Summary
To sum up, autonomic nervous system disorders seriously affect human health. We must pay attention to its characteristic clinical manifestations, such as frequent spontaneous sweating, night sweats, emotional anxiety, palpitations, etc. You can go to consult a professional doctor; secondly, medicine is the main method to treat autonomic nervous system disorders. Pay attention to dosage and adverse reactions when taking it. It is recommended to use medicine under the guidance of a doctor; finally, while treating the medicine, you must improve your lifestyle, actively adjust your emotions, and fundamentally prevent and treat autonomic nervous system disorders.
