Autonomic dysfunction

Introduction to autonomic dysfunction Autonomic dysfunction is a syndrome of visceral dysfunction. Including the symptoms of circulatory system, digestive system function or sexual dysfunction, mostly caused by psychosocial factors, some of the physiological functions of the human body are temporarily dysfunctional, and there are related changes in neuroendocrine and no corresponding pathological changes in the structure. Mainly distributed in the trunk, limbs, sports and feelings. The visceral nerves emitted by the brain and spinal cord are mainly distributed in the internal organs, controlling and regulating the functions of the internal organs, blood vessels and glands. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.2% Susceptible people: no specific people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: mental disorders associated with digestive diseases

Cause of autonomic dysfunction

Genetic factors (20%):

Clinically, genetic factors have been identified as directly related to the onset of mental disorders. Such as: schizophrenia, mood disorders, personality disorders, mental retardation and so on. Although there are significant genetic trends in appeal disorders in the survey, there has been no conclusive result in cytogenetics and molecular genetics research. Because hereditaryity is formed by the interaction between "congenital acquiredness" and "acquired acquiredness", the hereditary manifestation is directly related to the influence of the social environment on the patient before and during the disease.

Quality factor (20%):

The quality includes two aspects: psychological quality and physical quality. The so-called psychological quality refers to the excitability and stability of the human nervous system. Clinically, it shows the intensity, speed, arousal and emotional index of different people's response to different things. Physical quality refers to the individual's reaction potential and the biological basis for determining the individual's mental activity. For example, if a person is more introverted in personality and has more sensitive and fragile personality traits, then it will cause stress mental disorder under the external stimuli.

Gender factor (25%):

Females may cause emotional instability, impulsivity, anxiety and other clinical manifestations due to the endocrine and certain physiological processes of the gonads. This is related to the central nervous system inhibiting the secretion of prolactin. Because women have signs of less menstruation or lactation, they will feedback to the central nervous system and promote the increase of prolactin in the body, which will often be accompanied by anxiety, depression, decreased energy and decreased tolerance to stress. . Men are more affected by alcohol and tobacco, and lower levels of blood testosterone in the body can cause depression in men.

9, quit smoking, not excessive drinking.

Autonomic dysfunction complications Complications Digestive disorders associated with mental disorders

Patients with normal and emotional disorders and between emotional disorders (depression, anxiety, coercion, horror) may have significant differences in autonomic activity. Emotional stimulation leads to autonomic disorders, disturbance of viscera, yin and yang disorders, air-conditioning disorder, and meridian obstruction leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disorders, digestive disorders, and circulatory disorders.

Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction Common symptoms Dyspepsia Insomnia disaster response

Common headaches, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss, and symptoms of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal nervous system dysfunction. The patient has a lot of conscious symptoms, a heavy mental burden, and is very troubled. He is inspected and treated everywhere, and is a consumer with high medical expenses. And because of long-term unhealed, emotional stress, anxiety, decreased immune function, and often other diseases. It has seriously affected the quality of study work and life, and also caused a certain burden on families, and even affected family harmony.

Can cause sleep awakening, next day fatigue, bad mood, neck pain, shoulder pain, dizziness, headache, palpitation, shortness of breath, numbness of hands and feet, fullness of stomach cramps, lack of concentration, lack of patience, affecting work and life.

Examination of autonomic dysfunction

Horizontal test: Count the pulse for 1 minute in the supine position, then count the pulse for 1 minute after standing up. The sympathetic excitability is enhanced by increasing the pulse from the lying position to the standing position by 10-20 times. A reduction of 10 to 20 times from the lying position to the standing position is an increase in parasympathetic excitability.

Diagnosis and differentiation of autonomic dysfunction

Autonomic dysfunction is a syndrome of visceral dysfunction. Including the symptoms of circulatory system, digestive system function or sexual dysfunction, mostly caused by psychosocial factors, some of the physiological functions of the human body are temporarily dysfunctional, and there are related changes in neuroendocrine and no corresponding pathological changes in the structure. Vegetative nerves are part of the entire nervous system, and nerve damage also contains damage to autonomic nerves. The examination of the autonomic nervous system is mainly to assist in clinical diagnosis, and only a single examination in this area is rarely performed because there are few independent autonomic nervous system diseases.
