Autonomic nerve dysfunction is a syndrome of visceral dysfunction. Including symptoms of circulatory system function, digestive system function or sexual dysfunction, it is a syndrome that some physiological functions of human body are temporarily disordered due to psychological and social factors, and neuroendocrine changes occur without corresponding pathological changes in organizational structure.
Patients complain a lot, such as headache, insomnia, hypomnesia, palpitation, chest tightness, hiccup, abdominal distension, dyspepsia, constipation, anxiety, irritability, etc. However, some objective examinations such as electrocardiogram, echocardiography, fibergastroscope and so on can not find objective pathological changes, and they are often misdiagnosed as "coronary heart disease" and "myocardial ischemia", and the corresponding treatment effect is not good, so drugs that regulate autonomic nerve function are needed to take effect. Therefore, doctors should be informed that "no abnormality is found in any part" or pay attention to and seriously consider unexplained symptoms. This disease is psychosomatic, but we should also pay attention to the differential diagnosis of diseases with very similar symptoms, such as depression, neurosis and schizophrenia.
What harm does autonomic nervous dysfunction have to health?
This disease is a common disease, mainly manifested as dysfunction of higher nerve centers and autonomic nerves in the brain. Common symptoms include headache, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss, dysfunction of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal nervous systems, etc. The patient is conscious of various symptoms, has a heavy mental burden, is very distressed, and is a consumer with high medical expenses. Emotional stress, anxiety and the decline of immune function caused by long-term non-recovery often lead to other diseases. This has seriously affected the quality of study, work and life, and also caused a certain burden to families, even affected family harmony, aggravated new social factors, and caused the disease to fall into a vicious circle. Therefore, autonomic nerve dysfunction seriously affects people's physical and mental health and normal life, which can lead to easy sleep, fatigue the next day, bad mood, neck pain and so on.
What is the main cause of autonomic nervous dysfunction?
The etiology of autonomic nervous dysfunction is nothing more than internal and external causes. "Internal cause is the foundation of change, external cause is the condition of change, and external cause can only work through internal cause" is a classic philosophy and one of the objective laws of event change and development.
Some people have different incidence rates under the same pressure, indicating that personality characteristics and behavior patterns play a role in internal factors. The internal causes of autonomic nervous dysfunction mainly include personality defects such as introversion, autism and emotional instability, poor tolerance to external stimuli, and insufficient ability to adapt to the environment and cope with things. Many external factors have strong spiritual stimulation for a long time, such as family disputes, frustration in love, career failure or interpersonal tension, continuous physical labor, lack of sleep and so on. Affected by external factors for a long time, the higher nerve center is too nervous, which leads to the dysfunction of the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system.
When people face various difficulties, multiple factors such as personal susceptibility, social harm and psychological problems can cause stress response, which can cause autonomic nervous dysfunction through neuroendocrine changes.
What is the cause of autonomic nerve dysfunction? The autonomic nervous system is physiologically controlled and regulated by cerebral cortical nerves. Under normal circumstances, the excitement and tension of the cerebral cortex alternate and coordinate. The brain is the main body of human emotions and thinking. When the external emotional stimulus is too strong or lasts too long, some areas of the cerebral cortex are too excited and have abnormal coordination function, which leads to vasospasm and slow blood circulation in the brain, which in turn leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, hypoxia of brain cells and deposition of metabolic wastes, thus reducing the neuroregulatory ability of the brain.
Because the cerebral cortex plays a commanding role in the autonomic nervous system, the disorder of the brain, the headquarters of the human body, often leads to the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Such as chest tightness, breath holding, palpitation, feeling of dying and other cardiac neurosis; Gastrointestinal neurosis such as stomachache, abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea; Other strange clinical symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, skin numbness, skin itching, dysmenorrhea and so on. Its clinical characteristics are: first, there is no obvious organic change in the body; second, the illness is aggravated or repeated, often accompanied by emotional changes such as anxiety, tension and depression. The treatment of organic diseases such as coronary heart disease and gastritis is often ineffective.
Clinically, patients often have symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, such as dizziness, numbness of scalp and limbs, aggravated slip of the tongue, decreased vision and forgetfulness. In addition, from the point of clinical treatment, satisfactory clinical results have been achieved by improving blood oxygen content (meridian oxygen therapy), improving cerebral blood circulation by laser vascular irradiation, acupuncture Baihui, Tang Yin and Taiyang to regulate cerebral blood flow, which proves that cerebral ischemia and hypoxia are the pathological basis of autonomic nerve dysfunction from different aspects.
What are the main symptoms of autonomic nervous disorder?
The main symptoms of autonomic nervous dysfunction are as follows:
(1) Mental fatigue related to mental excitability is characterized by increased associative memory, decreased mental labor rate, weakness and fatigue.
(2) Emotional symptoms are annoyance, irritability and nervousness.
(3) Sleep disorder is mainly manifested as insomnia.
(4) Head discomfort, tension headache, high head pressure, tightness, etc.
(5) Visceral dysfunction, abdominal distension, bowel sounds, constipation or diarrhea; Palpitation, chest tightness, shortness of breath, quadriplegia, fatigue, and feeling of dying; Low fever; Skin scratch sign is positive; Irregular menstruation in women, spermatorrhea in men, impotence, etc.
What are the clinical symptoms of cardiac and gastrointestinal autonomic nervous dysfunction?
Cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction, also known as cardiac neurosis, is a syndrome mediated by cardiovascular autonomic nervous system and influenced by mental factors. Clinically, the main manifestations are precordial pain, palpitation, shortness of breath or hyperventilation, and a sense of dying. In addition, there are symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, sweating and insomnia.
What are the clinical symptoms of gastrointestinal autonomic nervous dysfunction?
Gastric autonomic nervous dysfunction, also known as gastrointestinal neurosis, is mainly manifested as anorexia, fullness, hiccups, abdominal discomfort, bowel sounds, constipation and diarrhea, which are often stimulated by emotions.
Can autonomic nervous dysfunction be cured?
Autonomic nerve dysfunction is a series of physiological and psychological reactions caused by various psychological and social factors, and some people with personality defects and quality neurasthenia are prone to this disease. Cerebral cortex dysfunction, imbalance of autonomic nerve excitation and inhibition are also prone to this disease. Reasonable and effective treatment, including drug, psychological, behavioral therapy, physical therapy and comprehensive treatment, has made many patients get better quickly, and after a period of treatment, they have recovered and returned to study and work.
After long-term clinical practice, we believe that the key to treatment lies in building confidence, adapting to nature, accepting reality, correctly treating setbacks and pains in real life, giving full play to personal advantages, overcoming personality weaknesses, cheering up, seeking appropriate ways to get rid of them, seeking social and psychological support, maintaining a regular life and adequate sleep, and taking part in some physical exercises and entertainment. Generally speaking, after 2-3 months of physical and mental adjustment and rational drug use, comprehensive treatment is carried out.
Brain autonomic nervous disorder is the main cause of neurosis, where is it manifested?
Cerebral autonomic nervous disorder is the main cause of neurosis; Neurosis shows various symptoms, so what is the function of autonomic nerve? Autonomic nerve mainly manages the movements of our internal organs, blood vessels and glands, such as our heartbeat, breathing, gastrointestinal peristalsis, contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, excretion of urine and urine, secretion of sweat glands and indispensable sexual functions in daily life. These are all controlled by the cerebral cortex center, which means that when your cerebral cortex function is excited and inhibited, there will be autonomic nervous dysfunction. There are also many manifestations of autonomic nervous dysfunction. Let me introduce them to you from the following aspects:
1, cardiac nerve dysfunction: chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath and breath holding may occur, and these patients especially like to sigh. This kind of sigh is mainly a symptom of deficiency of qi and blood, and some patients have symptoms such as palpitation and pain in the precordial area. After these symptoms appear, patients like this suspect that they have heart disease, so they go to the internal medicine department for ECG examination, but the results are normal, or some myocardial blood supply. If there are no abnormal physical examination results, it is far-fetched to diagnose coronary heart disease just because of insufficient blood. Although these patients all have these symptoms, most of them have been treated for heart disease, and the effect is not good. Why? Because this is not a real heart disease, in addition, autonomic nervous dysfunction can also cause unstable blood pressure, high and low blood pressure, headache, dizziness, tinnitus and elevated body temperature. There is also a temporary increase in blood sugar, and patients like this will be diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes. Some people have a high temperature, but not a high temperature, but a fever of only 37 degrees. There was nothing wrong with all the tests after admission, and there was still a fever to be investigated after discharge. Pay attention to this situation. If there is no organic disease, don't take medicine easily. You should go around more, ask some experts and doctors what kind of disease you belong to, and then take medicine. This is still better.
2, gastrointestinal nervous system disorder, that is to say, there is a problem with the digestive system, patients will lose appetite, eat poorly, and eat less. I don't digest it after eating, and I always feel that my heart is blocked. It can be said that most patients have swollen ribs, burping and flatulence, severe nausea and vomiting, constipation, and some people have diarrhea, and then lose weight, at least 650. The maximum weight is 40-50 kg. Most patients like this will do gastroscopy, ranging from one or two times to seven or eight times, but the result is superficial gastritis or duodenal ulcer. These symptoms appear, but these patients are treated according to stomach diseases. We have several typical patients who have been taking stomach medicine for 20 years and still haven't recovered. Therefore, they will recover soon after being adjusted by our neuromodulatory drugs. Why? Because it is not a real stomach disease, it can't be treated according to organic diseases, so the effect is completely different.
