Along with other brain structures provides sleep and wakefulness, manages the emotional sphere, the processes of memory. Without any hesitation we can say that the success of the autonomic nervous system not only ensures high quality of human life, but also its duration. Autonomic dysfunction - a very broad and diverse concept, bringing together on one side - bright vegetative crises (panic attacks), long subfebrilitet (termonevroz), neurogenic syncope, and, on the other - Raynaud's disease, increased sweating, orthostatic hypotension. In order to understand this diversity, try to bring vivid clinical illustrations of various medical problems for which we can confidently say - is a syndrome of vegetative dystonia. Autonomic disorders may occur already in infancy. As a rule, it is - quick change of color of skin, sweating, fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate, pain and dyskinesia in the gastrointestinal tract, a tendency to a slight rise in temperature for a long time, nausea, poor tolerance of any loads, meteolabilnost. If your child has certain symptoms of the above - you can talk with a certain probability of autonomic instability. Perhaps, if such deviations are not always it is a disease, but the existence of a predisposition to further development of the syndrome of vegetative dystonia doubt. Often, such a characteristic instability of vegetative reactions in more or less common to all family members. In this case, correct to speak about the syndrome of vegetative dystonia of a constitutional nature. Autonomic dysfunction is almost always occur as a reaction to the human body to stress in an absolutely physiological, that is a normal reaction. Perhaps you have not once noticed that in stressful situations that are recognized as threats, there is increased activity of the autonomic nervous system - shortness of breath, increased heart activity, sweating, dry mouth, shaking hands. This evolutionarily organized a defensive reaction of the human body. Thus your body is preparing to repel and protect. The reverse situation arises when there is inadequate, excessive severity of autonomic reactions. When all at once or in a stressful situation develops a cascade of symptoms of "autonomic storm" - rapid pulse, throbbing, or pain in the heart, excessive sweating, chills or internal trembling, feeling short of breath, wheezing or choking, nausea or discomfort in the abdominal area, sensation of vertigo or presyncope. These disorders may be accompanied by a vivid emotional response of fear and intolerance of public or private spaces (subways, airplanes, supermarkets). In this case we are talking about so-called panic attacks. But not always, autonomic dysfunction may occur in this expanded "dramatic" way.
