VSD hypertensive type. Causes and new approaches to treatment.

Judging by the number of diagnoses, vegetative-vascular dystonia( VDD) affects almost 80% of the population. Although VSD and disease in the full sense of the word can not be named. This is a complex of various symptoms associated, ultimately, with disruption of the central nervous system.

This may look like a psychological or neurological abnormality, heart or vascular disease, difficulty breathing apparatus. But, if you look at the root, VSD can be called a violation of the tone of the vessels due to a disorder of the vegetative system, which regulates this tone.

There are a lot of reasons for the occurrence of VSD and risk factors. It can be a long-lasting stress that will affect after some time under the influence of an accidental push: a quarrel, an unpleasant sight, drunk alcohol. A person suddenly becomes ill, he can suffocate, lose consciousness, and it seems that this is the end. But everything passes, exams are given, a survey is conducted, and the doctor at the reception says that there is nothing terrible. With this you can agree in part.

Yes, VSD is not a fatal diagnosis. All doctors dismiss, they say, now almost everyone can put such a diagnosis, all tests are good and all organs are in order. But the person is bad. And something must be done with this.

Doctors usually offer treatment depending on the type of VSD: cardiac, hypotensive and hypertensive. Cardiac type of VSD is accompanied by irregularities in the heart. With severe fatigue and frequent fainting treatment for the hypotonic type of AVR.

The most common type of VSD is the hypertensive type. It is characterized by increased periodic pressure, but without visible effects, as in hypertensive disease. In addition to general recommendations to lead a healthy lifestyle( more to move, enough to sleep, eat right, avoid bad habits), medications that usually affect the work of the nervous system are prescribed.

It is interesting that the international classification of diseases ICD-10 and DSM-IV do not recognize the VSD, but they make a diagnosis called panic disorder. But this does not change the essence. Panic disorder, which, as a diagnosis, put and our doctors, simply is a more severe manifestation of the same VSD.By the way, three times more women have this problem than men.

In general, the treatment of all types of VSD is similar. If to you have diagnosed VSD on an idiopathic type, treatment will be complex or difficult. First of all, these are vascular and psychotropic drugs. Many, after reading about their illness, prescribe themselves a cure. This is a very dangerous approach. Tranquilizers and, especially, antidepressants can give an extremely negative reaction in the first days of administration. And taking psychotropic medications is necessary, if the VSD has already passed into a panic disorder( as a rule, only at this stage people turn to doctors).

Very positive for the course of treatment VSD on the hypertensive type is influenced by psychotherapy sessions against the background of vitamin complexes with microelements that stabilize the increased nervous excitability. The duration of such sessions, as well as drug treatment is quite large. To achieve a good result( and sometimes complete healing) it may take six months or more. Often it is necessary to maintain the stability achieved by short-term therapy courses.

Many doctors in the treatment of VSD hypertensive type pay special attention to the condition of the cervical spine. There is even an opinion that the osteochondrosis of this department can be the main reason for the emergence of VSD.More people( since childhood) began to sit at the computers, earning themselves an osteochondrosis of the collar zone, making it difficult for the brain to supply with oxygen. More people became sick. In any case, no doctor will not object to a patient with a diagnosis of hypertension in the VSD often turned his neck in addition to the main treatment. So why not try it?
