Vegetative vascular dystonia symptoms treatment. Features of VSD treatment

Strictly speaking, vegetative-vascular dystonia is not a disease and is not included in the international classification of diseases. However, this diagnosis is often made. VSD is considered as secondary autonomic disorders that arose against the background of mental or somatic diseases. The quality of life suffers greatly if a person is diagnosed with vegetative-vascular dystonia. Getting rid of this disorder forever is a completely solvable task. And even at home, you can do a lot, especially if you use different methods of treatment in combination.

It is not always possible to fight vegetative-vascular dystonia without the help of medications. The main classes of drugs prescribed for vegetative-vascular dystonia:

sedatives - inexpensive, sold without a prescription, made from natural plant materials;
anxiolytics will relieve excessive anxiety and anxiety;
antipsychotics will calm the nerves;
Antidepressants will help restore lost interest in life;
nootropics will solve problems with memory and attention;
drugs that improve blood circulation in the brain;
sleeping pills will help cope with sleep disorders.

Important! Only the attending physician prescribes medications and determines dosages, it is only permissible to choose sedatives on your own.

The medications used also depend on the type of vegetovascular dystonia, which can be manifested by heart rhythm disturbances (cardiac) or pressure surges (vascular), and also have both types of symptoms (). For the first type of VSD, beta-blockers are often prescribed. If the pressure tends to increase, it is necessary to take antihypertensive drugs. If, on the contrary, the pressure is lowered and vegetovascular dystonia is diagnosed, caffeine and tinctures of tonic plants help get rid of the symptoms. With all types of VVD, antioxidants and vitamin complexes are also taken to increase immunity.

Herbal medicine

Traditional medicine has considerable experience in how and how to treat vegetative vascular dystonia at home. This is primarily treatment with decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants. These include valerian, motherwort, lemon balm, which have sedative properties, St. John's wort with the properties of a natural antidepressant, mint with a slight hypnotic effect, hops that relieve pain, hawthorn that soothes the heart and many other medicinal plants. If the hypotonic type of vegetative-vascular dystonia predominates, you can help yourself with the help of natural tonic plants - ginseng, eleutherococcus, lemongrass, Rhodiola rosea.

Folk recipes are most often presented not in the form of individual herbs, but in the form of collections. Each component has an effect on one of the symptoms, and a mixture of them helps more effectively. There are many of them, here are just a few:

A mixture of chamomile, birch buds, St. John's wort, and elecampane root is prepared as an infusion, filtered, and honey is added.
Echinacea flowers, Rhodiola rosea root - 2 parts, hop cones - 1 part. Honey is also added to the finished infusion. A good general tonic.
2 parts each of the roots of Leuzea, Rhodiola, Angelica, mistletoe herb, 3 parts of valerian root and St. John's wort, 4 parts of licorice root and rose hips. The infusion is especially suitable for men.
2 parts each of dandelion roots, licorice, Rhodiola rosea and Leuzea, nettle leaves, wormwood, knotweed, rose hips, 3 parts each of angelica root and viburnum fruits. The gathering is considered female.
Valerian root, cumin, motherwort, calendula and dill in equal parts - this infusion harmonizes the nervous system.
Rose hips, barberries and black currants, taken equally, lemon balm and nettle leaves. Increases overall tone, relieves headaches and dizziness.

To prepare infusions, you usually take two tablespoons of crushed and mixed ingredients per 500 ml of boiling water. Infuse in an enamel or glass container until cool or in a thermos. Drink 60–120 ml up to three times a day.

There is also an interesting recipe, the healing effect of which is noticeable after two weeks of use. Pour a glass of oatmeal (not flakes!) into a liter of water and boil until thickened. Strain and mix the broth with the same amount of milk, add honey. Take 100 ml three times a day.

Hibiscus tea has unique properties. When hot, it increases blood pressure, when cold, it lowers it. You can prepare it directly in a mug or glass: one large flower is poured with boiling water, covered with a saucer and allowed to stand. In case of hypotension, it is better to drink immediately; in case of hypertension, it is better to cool it.

Juniper berries are often recommended for home treatment of vegetative vascular dystonia according to the following scheme: start with one and increase to 12 by the twelfth day of intake, then also begin to reduce one by one. These 24 days of admission constitute the course of treatment. Beekeeping products - honey, royal jelly, propolis and others - have a well-deserved reputation. The enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants they contain are useful for improving the functioning of the nervous system.

Finally, the folk recipe known as "seven glasses". This is a mixture of equal parts of Cahors, liquid honey and juices from radish, carrots, beets, lemon and garlic. Drink 100–150 ml three times a day before meals.

Physiotherapy

In order to get rid of vegetative-vascular dystonia forever at home, you need to remember such an accessible remedy as ordinary water. Of course, a circular or fan shower is very rare in an ordinary apartment, but anyone can arrange a contrast shower. The body responds to the cyclical change of hot and cold water by producing stimulating hormones. Blood vessels alternately dilate and contract. This kind of training hardens them, strengthens their tone and reduces fragility. General metabolism improves. The procedure includes three cycles, each approximately 40-50 seconds, starting with hot and ending with cold water.

Note! The procedure should be enjoyable, otherwise its benefits will be questionable. The temperature contrast is selected individually; you can start with a small difference and gradually increase it. There should not be any severe discomfort. Even a small temperature difference with regular exposure is beneficial.

A good way to relax is baths. Oxygen and pearl baths are available in a sanatorium or a special physiotherapy department. You can easily arrange a relaxation session for yourself at home:

In an aromatic bath, if you take care of suitable essential oils in advance. In particular, oils of coniferous plants or ready-made pine concentrate have a good effect on mood and emotions;
In a bath with sea salt: blood circulation is well stimulated and the skin is cleansed.
In a bath with mustard: dissolve 5-6 tablespoons in warm water in advance, pour into the bath (water at a temperature of 39 degrees). A bath taken before bed for seven minutes is effective against headaches.
In a bath with herbs - chamomile, mint, oregano, lemon balm, rosemary. Each of the plants is useful in its own way, but they all relieve stress and unnecessary tension.

Strengthening capillary blood flow and activating gas exchange in the lungs can be helped with a hot chest wrap. You need to prepare two terry towels and fold a not very thick blanket four times. Then moisten a towel in hot (70 degrees) water, wring it out very well, wrap it around the chest, with a dry towel and a woolen blanket on top. Then quickly go to bed and cover yourself with a cotton blanket. After 20 minutes, remove the towels and spend another 40 minutes in bed, resting.

Physical exercise

Without physical activity, it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure vegetative vascular dystonia at home. For those patients whose symptoms of VSD are very pronounced, for older people, as well as for those who have concomitant diseases, physical therapy is more suitable. A doctor can recommend a set of exercises; the main thing is to do them regularly at home. Exercises with the body positioned upside down cannot be included in the complex. If you have hypertension, you should not lower your head low when doing exercises.

It's very good to go swimming. Playing sports are also useful because they have a positive effect on the emotional background. Aerobic, moderate strength training is included in many modern types of training. But if repeating monotonous movements seems boring or difficult, there are many types of dance fitness. In this case, there is also a load, but it is not so noticeable, and emotionally such training has a very positive effect.

Skiing and skating, cycling in the summer, light jogging, table tennis, hiking in the forest, in the mountains - all the opportunities to exercise yourself physically can be listed for a long time. But exercises with a barbell and on strength training machines are not for the period of VSD treatment. Useful exercise equipment is a treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike.

Important! For exercise, especially with aerobic exercise, the flow of oxygen is important. Therefore, you need to practice in a well-ventilated area or go out into the fresh air.

Stress relief

Treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia at home must necessarily be accompanied by relaxation and stress relief. To do this, you can use various practices - meditation, yoga.

Yoga

The role of yoga in getting rid of everyday stress has long been recognized around the world. It also allows you to gently get rid of vegetative-vascular dystonia. Classes should not immediately become intense, you should start gradually, dosing the load individually. It is also necessary to take into account the type of VVD, which particular department of the autonomic nervous system gives symptoms.

If the sympathetic department predominates, there is a hypertensive type of VSD. During classes, you need to activate the parasympathetic department. The emphasis is on bending and short relaxations, twisting while lying and sitting. When breathing, it is important to focus not on the duration of exhalation.

The hypotonic type of VSD owes its appearance to the parasympathetic part of the nervous system. Dynamic techniques, deflections, lateral bends, standing poses, balances are preferred. All this stimulates the adrenal glands and the sympathetic nervous system. Respiratory emphasis is on inhalation.

Breath

Breathing practices with regular exercise will improve the blood supply to the brain, give impetus to improving metabolism, the result will be improved well-being and relief from vegetative-vascular dystonia. There are many exercises. One of them is called "Full Breath". The exercise is performed while standing, arms along the body, legs slightly apart. In the process of inhaling, you need to slightly rise on your toes, you can raise your arms up through your sides. In the process of exhalation - lower and lower your arms.

Inhale, inflating the stomach (filling the lower part of the lungs).
Expansion of the chest (filling the middle part of the lungs).
Let air into the clavicle area (filling the upper part of the lungs).
Hold your breath for a few seconds.
Release the air from your stomach.
Release air from the ribs area.
Complete the release of the upper part of the lungs.

Meditation

You can find harmony with yourself, restore peace and tranquility by mastering meditative techniques. This immersion into oneself makes it possible to harmonize the energy of thoughts, extinguish anxious and panicky ones. This condition makes it possible to independently help yourself with vegetative-vascular dystonia. It will take willpower and concentration to do it regularly. But the effect will be long-lasting.

There are many meditation techniques, but you should not blindly imitate someone who is practicing. It is important to adhere to the general rules. It is necessary to completely retire, monitor your breathing and lengthen your exhalation, visualize the situation or image in which you would like to be. Body position is not that important. First of all, the lotus pose comes to mind, but during meditation you can sit on a chair or lie down. Convenience and comfort are important. The eyes are closed, but sometimes the gaze is focused on some object or point.

You can learn more about how to deal with various psychological problems using meditative practices at psychologist channel Nikita Valerievich Baturin.

Balanced diet

Treatment of vegetative vascular dystonia at home is impossible without harmonizing nutrition. Minerals and vitamins should be present in the diet in sufficient quantities, but foods containing harmful substances and toxins should be excluded from the menu:

less semi-finished and canned food, fast food;
limit salt and salty foods;
forget about fried, smoked, fatty foods;
eat sweets and sugar less often.

You need to replace unwanted foods with fresh vegetables and fruits, dried fruits and nuts, lean meat and fish, cereals and legumes, fermented milk drinks and cottage cheese. There are even more healthy foods than harmful ones; they won’t let you go hungry.

It is possible to fight and defeat vegetative-vascular dystonia if all possible treatment methods are used in combination. However, bad habits will always be an obstacle on this path. Therefore, you need to gather your willpower and urgently change what is definitely not beneficial:

quit smoking, don’t drink alcohol;
establish a routine, go to bed before midnight, get enough sleep;
do not overwork - the balance between work and rest is important;
a walk in the fresh air should become a replacement for television programs and social networks;
find interesting and useful hobbies, hobbies that will improve your mood and distract you from bad habits;
choose pleasant, interesting people to communicate with;
enjoy life or just smile more often. A smile engages the right part of the brain, and a positive emotion will follow.

Anyone who is working on themselves, their character and health will benefit from the advice of a psychologist

Dear friends! You can cure VSD. You just need to have the necessary information and have a burning desire to achieve it. We will help you with information, but if you are willing, try to come to an agreement yourself. Deal?

So, briefly about where vegetative-vascular dystonia could come from.

Similar on the site:

Origins

Let us name the main paths that led to VSD.

First. An event occurs that causes a disruption in the body's nervous system. Such events could be:

A tragedy happened to a loved one.
The individual found himself at a “broken trough,” that is, he experienced the collapse of his capital or lost his future career.
Breaking off relations with your soul mate, whom you have been looking for all your life. And then she turned around and waved her hand. Life without her became impossible.

Second. A person himself goes to vegetative-vascular dystonia. He, with his increased industriousness, unstable nutrition, systematic violation of sleep patterns, drives himself into a dead end, which is called VVD.

A nervous environment in a team or at home adds fuel to the fire.

It turns out faster if a person abandoned physical education and forgot about communicating with nature. In this case, you can not mention the possession of your consciousness and self-improvement. Most likely, they simply don’t exist!

Now let's move on to the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia.

Medication approach

Don't take medications simply by reading about them on the Internet.

Come to see your local doctor. Your family doctor can see you. Among the specialists, consult a neurologist, psychiatrist (or better yet, a psychotherapist). They can send you for an examination, where you will visit a cardiologist and other doctors. When you have been diagnosed with VSD, then you can talk about treatment.

What medications are prescribed for VSD?

Each person has a different symptom of the syndrome. What treatment brings to one patient may harm another. It is impossible to prescribe medications in absentia. This should be done by the doctor at the appointment.

But it’s no secret that doctors sometimes make mistakes in their conclusions, and you have to look for information on the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia on the Internet. Is not it?

Therefore, let’s get acquainted with the main types of medications that doctors prescribe for VSD:

Sedatives – have a calming effect, normalize sleep, but without a hypnotic effect.
Antidepressants – improve mood and mental activity, stabilize sleep and appetite, relieve emotional stress.
Nootropics are brain stimulants. They are also called neurometabolics. The stimulation effect is achieved by a qualitative improvement in the processes occurring in the cerebral hemispheres at the cellular level.
Tranquilizers. Their other name is anxiolytics. They relieve anxiety and anxiety.
Neuroleptics (antipsychotics) – for the treatment of mental disorders. In their effect they are similar to tranquilizers, but have a broader effect.
Cerebroangiocorrectors - improve blood circulation in the brain.
β-blockers - stabilize contractions of the heart muscle during tachycardia.
Herbal medicines are any medicines of plant origin.

Potassium-containing () or calcium-containing (hypotonic type of VSD) drugs may be prescribed.

Attention! Try to take medications to lower or increase blood pressure, which are used for hypertension or hypotension, only once and in extreme cases! Systematic use of such drugs can lead to the fact that after restoration of the autonomic nervous system and recovery from VSD, you will get problems with the cardiovascular system!

Traditional methods

Our body is like a musical instrument: if it gets upset, then only a master or even a musician who can hear the notes well and understands the structure of the instrument can tune it.

We do the same: if we want to improve our body, then we need to hear the music of the soul and know the characteristics of our body.

There are few professional “tuners” of our body among doctors. Usually they prescribe a list of medications according to the disease reference book and that’s it.

It is impossible not to go to the doctor. He will prescribe medications because he has no right to let you out without a prescription.

But a doctor “from God”, who was born to heal people, will recommend you something besides a prescription. This is what the rest of the article is about.

Getting health from nature

All methods of healing the body are suitable for the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia:

Features of treatment of VSD in women

Women are more emotional, and therefore more often fall under the influence of VSD.

But in this feature of the female psyche we must look for the main source of recovery! How? Will explain. This is the best folk remedy.

Filling the mind with positive emotions helps relieve the burden of vegetative-vascular dystonia. Women have an amazing body: it can change depending on emotions!

Union with men gives intense emotions to the fair sex. If a woman has truly fallen in love, then she does not need medicines or folk remedies.

Sexual relationships stabilize processes in the nervous and circulatory systems at the same time! Remember this, dear women, then it is likely that you will not need the rest of this page!

An important folk remedy for protecting against VSD for the weaker half of humanity is a healthy family and children. Don’t rush to contact therapists and neurologists, start with the psychological environment at home!

Specifics of treatment during pregnancy

Carefully! It is undesirable and sometimes dangerous for pregnant women to use any medications! For example, β-blockers (beta blockers) increase uterine tone, which can pose a threat to the fetus!

During pregnancy, every woman should be under the supervision of a doctor. If any appointments are made, pregnancy is taken into account. All prescriptions must be approved by your obstetrician.

During pregnancy, a restructuring of all systems occurs in a woman’s body; they begin to be produced according to a different program, the supply of nerve and other cells with useful substances changes, and thinking is transformed. As a result, many body functions are normalized. The body is renewed.

In the process of formation, failures are possible that can lead to nervous breakdowns and vegetative-vascular dystonia. But more often the opposite happens: a patient with VSD becomes healthy. Therefore, during pregnancy, try not to treat VSD: dystonia may go away on its own. Take care of your future child: it will be much more useful for both you and him!

If you cannot avoid treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia, then use the following methods:

physiotherapy;
autogenic training;
balneotherapy;
reflexology;
some types of massages.

It is advisable to limit your pharmaceutical preparations to mineral complexes. The doctor may prescribe nicotinic acid to improve blood circulation.

For your information. If a calcium supplement was prescribed, then remind the doctor that you have vegetative-vascular dystonia: perhaps he will recommend you a potassium-containing menu for balance.

Alone with myself

When VSD comes to a person, it is a complete surprise for him! Out of the blue, - he says, – headache, poor sleep, hand tremors, anxiety appeared.

In this case you need to think: Maybe the encounter with dystonia was preceded by certain reasons? I just didn’t notice them, I was used to this way of life, I didn’t know that it was possible to live differently.

It is better to start treatment by establishing a relationship with your consciousness. This is the main folk remedy for healing. Immerse yourself and understand these questions:

What worries you?
Why did you get to this point? (No reproaches here, please.)
Why do you need to live further?
Do you need someone else besides yourself?

If you need yourself and someone else, then fight! Adjust your routine and work!

Get on with your life, after all! Dystonia does not like assertive and life-loving personalities and will leave you!

Good luck to you, friends! It will be very useful to you!

It is very important to improve your psycho-emotional state: if you have depression or neuroses, you need to consult a specialist for qualified help.

We also note that with the hypertensive type of VSD, treatment must be carried out in no case by increasing the pressure, acting only to lower blood pressure. Conversely, with the hypertensive type of VSD, treatment is aimed at increasing blood pressure.

Children also suffer from vegetative-vascular dystonia. To carry out treatment in children, a consultation with a pediatrician and an examination are necessary to diagnose vegetative-vascular dystonia and get to its causes.

We can conclude that treatment of VSD is possible, but the most effective is complex. Herbal infusions and decoctions have a calming effect and have an antispasmodic, analgesic effect, and help cope with depressive conditions. Physical exercise strengthens blood vessels and muscles, improving blood circulation, helping to reduce the symptoms of VSD.

Nutrition for VSD

During VSD, vascular tone is disrupted, so you need to include foods containing calcium, magnesium and potassium in your daily diet. These are products such as: buckwheat and oatmeal, legumes, cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt, honey, dried apricots, prunes, walnuts, parsley, dill. It is best to use olive oil and sunflower oil (unrefined) in cooking.

It is necessary to consume more freshly squeezed juices, various compotes (from dried fruits or fresh fruits and berries). Drink about two liters of water per day. You need to eat 3-5 times during the day.

In combination with proper nutrition, folk remedies, and a healthy lifestyle, you can get rid of vegetative-vascular dystonia forever.

Rehabilitation in a sanatorium is also prescribed for rehabilitation. Climatotherapy works well. Spa treatment, which includes balneotherapy, massage, exercise therapy, as well as physiotherapy procedures, is very useful.

The most common physiotherapeutic procedures are electrophoresis with medications (containing calcium, magnesium, bromine, novocaine, caffeine), electrosleep, various baths, mud treatment, and in some patients acupuncture.

Vegetovascular dystonia (VSD) is a condition associated with changes in the functioning of the autonomic system, which manifests itself in the form of a complex of symptoms. Patients rarely understand the full danger of the disease, demanding from the doctor an accurate diagnosis, in their opinion. But the condition requires careful diagnosis, and treatment for vegetative-vascular dystonia should be selected taking into account many health indicators. What is important to pay attention to for effective treatment of dystonia?

What is VSD?

Vegetovascular dystonia, or, as it is also called, neurocirculatory dystonia, is a pathology that is perceived as another disease. Vegetative-vascular dystonia can occur with symptoms of a gynecological, neurological, or any other disease. Thanks to the work of the autonomic system, the body is able to adapt to environmental changes.

As a result of vegetative-vascular dystonia, an imbalance of the autonomic system occurs, which leads to changes in the functioning of one or another organ. The causes of the disease are considered to be heredity, constitutional features, frequent stress, environmental features, and family environment. People of all ages are prone to pathology.

Signs and symptoms of VSD

A disease with vegetative-vascular syndrome can occur in different types, depending on which area is affected. Thus, there are forms with syndromes affecting the central nervous system (dizziness, nausea, headaches), the cardiovascular system (shortness of breath, pain in the heart), and the digestive system (manifests in the form of epigastric pain, nausea, diarrhea or vomiting).

Often with vegetative-vascular dystonia, the patient experiences:

Neuromuscular syndrome - weakness, rolling of the eyes, lack of coordination, numbness of the fingers.
Mental syndrome – depression, decreased performance, aggression.
Cognitive syndrome – memory loss, inability to concentrate.
Vascular syndrome - poor circulation, cold extremities, weakness, convulsions.

The condition of vegetative-vascular dystonia itself occurs either hypotonic or hypertonic, that is, with a decrease or increase in blood pressure. A mixed type of disease course is also likely. Children have their own characteristics of the condition. Let us consider the signs of each variant of the development of the disease separately.

Dystonia in children

What complicates the diagnosis of vegetative-vascular dystonia is that the child’s pulse rate is much higher than that of an adult. For this reason, this indicator should not be used as a sign of pathology.

When the disease occurs, the skin of children becomes a different color, a rash, dryness, and swelling appear. Changes in the functioning of the endocrine organs are especially indicative: in boys, puberty is delayed, but in girls, on the contrary, it accelerates.

Body temperature changes with vegetative-vascular dystonia for no particular reason, which is not accompanied by a runny nose or other respiratory symptoms. Children experience drowsiness, panic for no reason, or constant anxiety. When the heart is damaged, a change in the nature of breathing is observed: it either becomes too frequent or slows down. Often, with vegetative-vascular syndrome, shortness of breath appears.

Such children suffer from decreased appetite, they are bothered by nausea, sometimes vomiting, and diarrhea. By the age of 12-15, all this leads to gastritis or duodenitis.

Against the background of VSD, other diseases may develop. These are heart defects, arrhythmia, pathologies of the heart muscle, Itsenko-Cushing syndrome. If such deviations exist, a thorough examination is required to determine the cause of the condition. Not only pediatricians are involved in the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia. A psychiatrist, gynecologist, neurologist, and cardiologist should be involved.

VSD of hypotonic type

The main symptom that accompanies vegetative-vascular syndrome of the hypotonic type is considered to be a decrease in blood pressure. As the disease worsens, crises appear. Patients complain of increased weakness, rapid heartbeat, panic, neurosis, shortness of breath, interruptions in cardiac activity, sweating, decreased blood pressure (BP), and fainting.

VSD of the hypertensive type

This form is characterized by increased blood pressure with periods of crises. Patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia experience rapid heartbeat, overexcitement, panic, hypertension, cold extremities, frequent periods of chills. During crises with vegetative-vascular dystonia, there is a sharp increase in blood pressure, trembling of the limbs, discomfort in the heart area, anxiety, sweating, loss of sensitivity in the limbs.

Doctors sometimes make a diagnosis of sympathicotonia, that is, the predominance of the sympathetic system over the parasympathetic. In other words, with vegetative-vascular disease, regulation between the centers that activate all organs and those that slow down their work is disrupted, and the amount of adrenaline in the blood increases.

If the parasympathetic system predominates over the sympathetic system, the patient is concerned about slow heart rate, sweating, polyuria, severe weakness, dizziness, and drowsiness.

When treating vegetative-vascular dystonia, it is important to take into account the form of the pathology and, based on the symptoms, select drugs and remedies.

Treatment of the disease

If a malfunction of the autonomic system occurs, you must first conduct a thorough examination of the entire body. If vegetative-vascular dystonia is suspected, attention is paid to the condition of the skin, blood vessels, capillaries, and the functioning of organs and systems. In the presence of systolic murmur or pronounced surges in blood pressure, additional examination is required to determine the presence of defects and concomitant pathologies.

For vegetative-vascular disease, specialists prescribe tests such as ECG of the heart, MRI of the brain, chest X-ray, FGS of the stomach and duodenum, as well as ultrasound of vital organs. Based on the results of the examination, as well as from ultrasound or radiography photos, the doctor assesses the condition, as well as the degree of changes in the body.

In order for the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia to give the desired result, lifestyle changes are required. The correct combination of work and rest regimes ensures the normal functioning of the autonomic system. An active lifestyle is encouraged, that is, morning jogging, swimming, fitness, aerobics, but all this is at the level of an amateur, not a professional.

Also, vegetative-vascular dystonia requires a change in diet. You need to sleep at least eight hours a day. It will be useful to visit a sanatorium or health resort with a neurological profile of patients. Doctors recommend periodically conducting a course of exercise therapy and massage. Hydrotherapy of all types has a pronounced effect.

How to cope with vegetative-vascular disease and what to do to improve the condition? You can get answers to these questions by watching the video. It describes in detail what VSD is and how to deal with it.

Drug treatment of VSD

Treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia is carried out mainly according to symptoms. It is impossible to say exactly what drugs will be prescribed for treatment; it depends on the characteristics of the case, they are selected only after examining the patient.

First of all, for vegetative-vascular dystonia, antidepressants and tranquilizers are prescribed. The dosage is selected based on the severity of symptoms. In addition to them, antihypertensive drugs are prescribed or, on the contrary, caffeine to raise blood pressure. B vitamins, ginseng and beta blockers are considered mandatory.

If venous insufficiency is observed, Vasoket and Detralex are prescribed. They relieve heaviness in the head, pain and throbbing. The course for vegetative-vascular dystonia should be long - at least a month.

If, with dystonia, the arteries are tense and the pressure is high, Cavinton, Oxybral, Sermion, Ginkgo Biloba or Memoplant are suitable. Betaserc will help get rid of noise, but afobazole will help relieve anxiety. Antidepressants must be taken for six months. Only then does a tangible effect appear.

A simple smile can activate the brain. Therefore, patients prone to vegetative-vascular dystonia should smile more often, and also simply enjoy life. A change in attitude towards the outside world significantly affects the patient’s condition. Only if a person takes charge of himself, that is, tries to find a way out of the problem himself, will he be able to get rid of the pathology, and the drugs will help him achieve the desired effect in a short time.

Traditional medicine for VSD

Taking into account the patient’s condition, sedatives are selected for the treatment of VSD. Herbs with an antidepressant effect, as well as those that help get rid of agitation, anxiety or stress, will be useful.

Melissa has a pronounced effect on vegetative-vascular dystonia. In addition to the sedative effect, it has an antispasmodic and antidepressant effect. In the process of taking lemon balm tincture, heart function improves, stress is relieved, and perception of the world improves. You can use lemon balm both in the form of tea and in the form of infusion (decoction).

St. John's wort for vegetative-vascular diseases improves internal condition, relieves anxiety, normalizes sleep and increases tone. Use herbs in the form of infusions or teas. For ease of use, tablets containing St. John's wort extract or dry extract are suitable for busy patients.

Hops will help relieve heart pain in vegetative-vascular dystonia and will calm you down after a working day. Hawthorn will relieve palpitations, normalize blood pressure and calm the nerves.

With the help of mint, you will be able to relieve spasms from blood vessels, improve sleep, calm down and get rid of the tension that arises from vegetative-vascular syndrome. Valerian is used to normalize sleep and restore a normal psycho-emotional state.

All of the herbs listed are used for dystonia, both in pure form (infusions, tinctures, balms, tea, decoction) and in the form of tablet preparations sold in the pharmacy chain.

Some herbs are used depending on the blood pressure level. For the hypertensive type of vegetative-vascular dystonia, it is recommended to use plants such as rose hips, dioscorea, motherwort, hawthorn, cudweed, and sophora. In parallel with this, if you have vegetative-vascular syndrome, you need to diversify your diet with apples, pears, grapefruits, garlic, chocolate, and vegetables.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, salt and fatty foods. Be sure to take a walk in the fresh air and choose simple fitness classes for yourself.

For the hypotonic type of vegetative-vascular dystonia, it is recommended to use ginseng, propolis, eleutherococcus and other herbs that increase tone and also force receptors to respond correctly to environmental factors.

Complications and prevention of VSD

In order to prevent deterioration of the condition of internal organs during vegetative-vascular dystonia, in addition to normalizing your daily routine, follow all doctor’s recommendations. Pay close attention to VSD in children. They often develop diseases that negatively affect the general condition of the baby.

Prevention of VSD should begin in childhood. It is especially important to avoid stress and nervous overexcitation. When you are sick, you need to ensure the correct balance of work and rest. A child with vegetative-vascular dystonia should sleep at least eight hours a day. Sports clubs, dancing, running, swimming, skiing or cycling will bring benefits. Yoga, auto-training, breathing exercises are suitable.

The diet of patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia should include foods such as potatoes, cabbage, apricots, raisins, figs, prunes, beans, tomatoes, peas, and dill. If you notice that when measuring the pulse at the wrist joint the blood vessels are tense, focus on buckwheat porridge, carrots, nuts, soybeans, and rose hips.

Vegetative-vascular dystonia (VSD), or neurocirculatory dysfunction, is a pathological condition of the autonomic nervous system, which results in insufficient oxygen supply to organs and tissues. Patients often present many different complaints. But upon a comprehensive examination of the patient, no changes in the organs are detected, since symptoms arise from deviations in the structure and functions of the autonomic nervous system.

What is vegetative-vascular dystonia (VSD)?

Vegetative-vascular dystonia (VSD) is a disease of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the functioning of blood vessels and internal organs. It is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The action of the ANS systems is opposite: for example, the sympathetic system speeds up heart contractions, and the parasympathetic system slows it down.

And these functions are very diverse and vitally important. This:

Maintain normal body temperature and blood pressure
Processes of cardiovascular activity
Digestion and urination
Activities of the endocrine and immune systems

With VSD, the balance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems is disrupted, which causes symptoms that worsen overall health. Symptoms of VSD do not pose a threat to human life, but sometimes they can signal the presence of serious problems in the vascular, nervous, cardiac or other vital systems.

The pathology is usually detected in childhood or young age, the peak of symptoms occurs at the age of 20-40 - the most productive and active period, while the usual rhythm of life is disrupted, professional activity becomes difficult, and family relationships suffer.

In modern medicine, vegetative vascular dystonia is not considered as an independent disease, since it is a set of symptoms that develop against the background of the course of some organic pathology. Vegetative-vascular dystonia is often referred to as autonomic dysfunction, angioneurosis, psycho-vegetative neurosis, vasomotor dystonia, autonomic dystonia syndrome, etc.

The main signs of VSD are:

Pain in the heart (cardialgia);
Respiratory disorders;
Autonomic disorders;
Fluctuations in vascular tone;
Neurosis-like conditions.

Thus, vegetative-vascular dystonia is not an independent disease, but a complex syndrome that is part of the total clinical picture of various psycho-emotional, somatic, neurological or mental diseases.

Causes

The pathology can appear in early childhood or adolescence, but, as a rule, it does not cause much concern. According to statistics, the peak occurs in the age period from 20 to 40 years. It has been proven that the female population is more susceptible to the disease than the male population.

His diagnosed in 60–70 percent of cases in the adult population and 10–15 percent in children and adolescents.

The causes of vegetative-vascular dystonia are very different and, sometimes, lie in early childhood or even the period of intrauterine development. Among them, the most important are:

Intrauterine hypoxia, abnormal birth, childhood infections;
Stress, severe physical overload;
Traumatic brain injuries and neuroinfections;
Hormonal changes during pregnancy and adolescence;
Heredity and constitutional features;
The presence of chronic pathology of internal organs.

Behavioral factors and lifestyle can contribute to autonomic dystonia:

Excessive addiction to alcohol and coffee
Great mental or physical stress
The type of temperament and character traits also play a role:
- The least susceptible to VVD are the most balanced sanguine people in their type.
- On the contrary, choleric and melancholic are at risk

Mentally balanced, cheerful people suffer from vegetative disorders much less often than anxious, irritable and suspicious

People suffering from VSD sensitive to life changes. For them, the test becomes a change in climate, moving a long distance, to a different time zone - unpleasant symptoms begin to appear.

Symptoms of vegetative-vascular dystonia in adults

The manifestations of vegetative-vascular dystonia are diverse, which is due to the multifaceted influence on the body of the VNS, which regulates the basic autonomic functions - breathing, blood supply, sweating, urination, digestion, etc. Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction can be expressed constantly or manifested by attacks, crises (panic attacks, fainting, other paroxysmal conditions).

All symptoms characteristic of VSD can be combined into the following large groups:

Weakness, fatigue, lethargy, especially severe in the morning;
Unpleasant sensations or pain in the heart area;
A feeling of lack of air and associated deep breaths;
Anxiety, sleep disturbances, restlessness, irritability, concentration on one’s illness;
Headaches and dizziness;
Excessive sweating;
Instability of pressure and vascular tone.

All of the above symptoms are largely due to vascular tone. Therefore, depending on which particular vascular tone prevails in this particular person, the following types of IRR are distinguished:

Hypertensive;
Hypotensive;
Mixed;
Cardialgic.

A person who has vegetative-vascular dystonia often suffers from:

sleep disorders
headache
weather dependence
increased fatigue
depressed mood
obsessive states and all kinds of neuroses
He may have frequent fainting, hand tremors, heart rhythm failures, panic attacks, phobias of various diseases, etc.

Symptoms of an attack of VSD

Like other pathologies, vegetative-vascular dystonia can worsen after emotional unrest or acute oxygen starvation. An acute attack is not life-threatening for the patient, but it can cause disturbances in the functioning of blood vessels, as well as mental disorders and internal pathologies.

To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to know the symptoms that manifest exacerbation of neurocirculatory dysfunction. These include:

a sharp deterioration in health;
muscle weakness, feeling of “woolly” legs;
pressure change;
chest pain;
heart rhythm disturbance;
pain in the epigastric zone;
nausea.

Complications

The course of vegetative-vascular dystonia can be complicated by vegetative crises, which occur in more than half of patients. Depending on the predominance of disorders in one or another part of the autonomic system, sympathoadrenal, vagoinsular and mixed crises are distinguished.

If we talk about neurological and cardiac disorders that can provoke the disease, they manifest themselves in the following:

decreased efficiency of the heart muscle, interruptions in its activity;
development of hypertension or hypotension - high and low blood pressure;
disturbances in the functioning of the urinary system, increased urge to go to the toilet;
changes in the autonomic regulation of the eyes, which leads to deterioration of vision;
failure in the metabolic process, loss of body weight;
development of weather dependence - an acute reaction of the body to changes in weather conditions;
improper functioning of the vascular system, leading to poor nutrition of brain tissue;
gastrointestinal dysfunction - constipation, diarrhea, bloating, etc.

The consequences of VSD are essentially its aggravated symptoms, which occur already in the early stages of the development of the syndrome, but do not cause much concern to patients.

Diagnostics

Patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia are usually treated by a neurologist. Additionally, consultations with a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, and endocrinologist are prescribed. The treatment involves a physiotherapist, a specialist in physical therapy and massage, and a reflexologist.

Exacerbation of VSD occurs in spring and autumn. Early spring is considered a dangerous period for dystonics. The deterioration of the condition is sometimes so serious that you have to see a doctor and take a sick leave.

The complaints of people suffering from vegetative-vascular dystonia are as follows:

from the vascular system– pressure surges, headaches, heart pain, tachycardia, increased sweating, weakness;
decreased immunity, caused by seasonal hypovitaminosis after winter, depletion of protective forces, frequent, causing a crisis of VSD.

To correctly diagnose VSD, it is necessary to exclude somatic (organic) diseases that give similar symptoms.

For example, to rule out (hyperthyroidism), an ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland is performed and blood is donated to test its hormonal activity.
Sometimes you need to do an ECG (electrocardiogram), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), vascular Dopplerography (ultrasound of brain vessels), visit an ophthalmologist and endocrinologist.
And only after somatic diseases have been excluded and the diagnosis of VSD has been fully confirmed, the doctor can prescribe individual treatment.

Treatment of VSD in adults

Treatment of VSD is carried out comprehensively and includes the following points:

Normalization of daily routine, sleep, rest;
Elimination of physical inactivity using dosed physical activity (PT);
Therapeutic massage and water procedures;
Balneotherapy (treatment with mineral waters);
Phototherapy;
Limiting sources of emotional experiences - computer games, TV shows;
Counseling and family psychological correction;
Normalization of nutrition (regular consumption of food enriched with vitamins);
Electrophoresis;
Drug therapy.

The most difficult stage in therapeutic intervention is eliminating the causes that led to the autonomic disorder. Reviews from patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia indicate that a person is often independently able to determine the factors contributing to the manifestation of the syndrome. They indicate stress, overwork, quarrels and conflicts in the family, leading to an attack of VSD.

Drugs for vegetative-vascular dystonia

If non-drug methods are ineffective, pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed. These drugs are selected individually for each patient, starting with minimal doses and gradually increasing to the desired concentration. Particular attention is paid to getting rid of chronic foci of infection in the body, treating endocrine and other pathologies.

Drug treatment is determined by the predominant symptoms in a particular patient. The main group of drugs for VSD consists of drugs with a sedative effect:

Herbal remedies – valerian, motherwort, novo-passit, etc.;
Antidepressants – cipralex, paroxetine, amitriptyline;
Tranquilizers - seduxen, elenium, tazepam, grandaxin.

Depending on the disturbing complaints, the doctor may prescribe tablets for vegetative-vascular dystonia of the following drug groups:

potassium and magnesium preparations (Magne B-6, Panangin, Asparkam) - to improve vascular tone and the relationship between nerve cells;
beta-blockers (Metaprolol, Anaprilin) – for persistent arterial hypertension;
nootropics (Piracetam) – to normalize metabolic processes and improve blood circulation;
antidepressants (Amitriptyline, Cipralex) – for severe symptoms to regulate the functioning of the central nervous system;
tranquilizers (Diazepam) - to provide a sedative effect in cases of anxiety and panic attacks.

Physiotherapy for VSD

Physiotherapy in the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia is aimed at regulating vascular tone, normalizing metabolism and eliminating pain. The nature, systematicity and intensity of the procedures are selected by the doctor in accordance with the characteristics of the disease.

The effects that physiotherapy produces on a patient with vegetoneurosis are:

calming – electrosleep, electrophoresis of sedative drugs, aeroionotherapy;
tonic – magnetic and laser therapy, inductothermy;
vasodilator - galvanization, local darsonvalization;
vasoconstrictor - electrophoresis of adrenaline and other adrenomimetic drugs (drugs that stimulate adrenergic receptors);
antiarrhythmic - electrophoresis of potassium chloride, lidocaine.

Therapeutic massage and water treatments

Physical effects on the body, in particular therapeutic massage and water procedures, improve blood circulation, improve the functioning of the lymphatic system, if necessary, restore the structure of the spine (in the case of), and along with the spine, the nerve channels with the vessels that pass through it are aligned. In addition, massage allows you to relax, relieve stress, and improve muscle tone.

Physical exercise

Most experts in the field of prevention and treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia agree that physical rehabilitation should be put in first place.

It is various physical exercises that can significantly help in the fight against the disease. But what is important here is the correct balance between the complexity of the physical exercise and the abilities of a particular patient. This is the only way to achieve the best results.

What should you avoid?

Some actions of the patient can aggravate the condition of VSD. Thus, if there are already existing disorders in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, you should not:

excessively involved in meditation;
create additional stress for the body or exhaust yourself with increased physical activity;
go on diets for a long time or even starve;
be an inveterate pessimist;
drink alcoholic beverages, smoke;
listen to recommendations from people who do not have the appropriate medical education (especially in matters of drug treatment of the disease).

Nutrition and diet

Proper nutrition for vegetative-vascular dystonia in children and adults requires the exclusion of certain dishes and products from the diet. Basically, this is food containing a large amount of bad cholesterol, which increases excitability and negatively affects the tone and structure of blood vessels.

There are no hard and fast rules. VSD has a psycho-emotional etiology, so it is extremely important that the patient does not experience unnecessary stress. The diet should leave you feeling light, and not constant restrictions, which in itself can lead to depression even for a healthy person.

Proper nutrition for vegetative-vascular dystonia is based on the principles:

the diet contains many foods containing magnesium and potassium;
Products that stabilize blood pressure are required;
Liquid intake will help normalize the water-salt balance.

The basic rules when creating a menu and diet for people with vegetative-vascular dystonia are the following:

Food should be beneficial to the body.
Food should be healthy.
It is necessary that with food intake, all the necessary beneficial elements for its functioning enter the body.

Diet for vegetative-vascular dystonia of the hypertensive type includes foods and dishes with reduced salt content. Allowed:

vegetable soups with cereals and soups not based on strong meat/fish broth with a minimum amount of extractive substances without adding spices and seasonings.
It is preferable to consume whole grain bread or with bran, in small quantities - rye or wheat.
Meat and poultry should be of low-fat varieties and are best consumed boiled and baked.

With hypotonic form of VSD vegetables and fruits should contain vitamin C and beta-carotene, it is recommended to eat:

citrus fruits, bananas, pineapples. You can eat potatoes, semolina, and white flour bread.
To increase blood pressure you need to eat nuts, buckwheat, brains, liver, pomegranate.
Herring and cheeses can be introduced into the diet a couple of times a week, this will increase blood pressure.
Sweets, chocolate, coffee and cocoa have a good effect.

oatmeal and buckwheat, beans and onions, peas and eggplants, grapes, peaches, apricots, raisins and dried apricots.
From drinks, choose juices, compotes and jelly.
Fermented milk products, chicken egg dishes, lean fish and meat are of great benefit.

Folk remedies

There are many folk remedies for vegetative-vascular dystonia; below we have collected several effective recipes for different types of VSD.

Hypertensive type (high blood pressure):

Hawthorn helps best. Here you can use the following recipe: keep a teaspoon of the product in a water bath (250 ml of water) for 4 hours; This infusion can be drunk 25 grams three times a day.
Mix lemon balm, lingonberry leaves, and hawthorn flowers in equal proportions. Measure out 8 g of the mixture, pour in 0.3 liters of boiling water and infuse. You need to take the decoction 50 ml 5 times a day;

Hypotonic type (when blood pressure is low):

take 1 part each of zamanika roots, rose hips and hawthorn berries, 2 portions each of chamomile and St. John's wort. Take 10 g of raw materials, pour a glass of cold water and leave for 4 hours, then heat in a water bath for 15 minutes, leave for an hour, filter. The volume is drunk in 3 doses during the day;

For surges in blood pressure, you can use a special infusion:

it includes ingredients such as hawthorn flowers (20 grams), lily of the valley flowers (10 g), valerian root (20 g), hop cones (10 g), peppermint leaves (15 g), fennel fruits (15 g);
one tablespoon of this mixture (well crushed) is poured into a glass of boiling water;
To infuse, you need to put the solution in a cool place for three hours, then bring to a boil and let cool.

For VSD, for a general tonic effect on the body, use an infusion using echinacea, hops and rhodiola (golden root). To make this product you will need:

Echinacea inflorescences;
Rhodiola rosea root;
Hop cones.

Forecast

The prognosis of vegetative-vascular dystonia is favorable; often its manifestations remain forever in childhood. However, without prevention and treatment, vegetative-vascular dystonia can lead to a persistent increase in blood pressure, which changes the structure and functions of various internal organs; to disturbances in digestive processes, etc.

In case of VSD, it is necessary to conduct regular (usually seasonal) courses to prevent exacerbations, for which the following are prescribed:

herbal medicine,
vitamin therapy,
massage,
physical therapy,
physiotherapeutic procedures,
Spa treatment.

We explained in simple terms what kind of disease it is and why it is important to start treating vegetative vascular dystonia in time. Take care of your health and at the first signs and symptoms of VVD, consult a doctor.
