What is VSD
This is a complex manifestation of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system failures in the absence of signs of diseases in the organs to which the patient complains. Simply put, a general examination, including an electrocardiogram, an electroencephalogram and the delivery of tests will not show significant disturbances in the functioning of the body, but the person does not feel healthy.
There is no disease in the international classification of diseases, it is diagnosed only by specialists working in the medical institutions of the CIS and those countries that recently included it. The main reason for denying the existence of the disease by foreign specialists: there is no clear framework for diagnosing the disease and strict therapeutic regulation.
Reasons for
There are primary and secondary causes of vegetative vascular dystonia.
The following are classified as primary:
- intrauterine pathology of the fetal nervous system due to stresses experienced by a pregnant mother, alcohol intake, non-adherence to therapeutic recommendations, smoking;
- unsuccessful atmosphere around the child( at home - because of alcoholism, quarrels of parents or their excessive control, in the classroom - due to constant encounters with classmates, teachers, trainer);
- non-normalized mental and physical loads;
- heredity( vegetoneurosis from the parent).
Secondary grounds due to which vegeto-vascular dystonia may develop:
- moving to the region with an unusual climate;
- hereditary, acquired pathologies of life-supporting systems( respiratory, digestive, endocrine and so on);
- bad ecology;
- defective food;
- all kinds of overloads without subsequent appropriate compensation;
- age-related hormonal changes( puberty, menopause, premenstrual syndrome);
- all kinds of dependencies;
- intoxication;
- systematic violation of the regime;
- closed.
Symptoms of
Domestic physicians diagnose vegetovascular dystonia if multiple functional disorders are detected in patients from several parts of the autonomic nervous system.
