Hypersympatheticotonia

Hypersympathicotonia is a condition in which the activity of the sympathetic nervous system predominates in the body over the parasympathetic, which leads to an increase in the level of adrenaline and norepinephrine in the blood. This can cause a number of symptoms such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, sweating, hand tremors, anxiety, insomnia, headache and others.

Hypersympathicotonia can be identified by a number of signs, such as increased pulse, dilated pupils, increased blood pressure, pale skin, dry mouth, increased activity and others. However, it is important to note that hypersympathicotonia is not always a pathological condition, but can be associated with certain conditions such as stress, fatigue, exercise and others.

If you have hypersympathicotonia, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress, increasing physical activity, eliminating bad habits, and using medications to reduce the levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood, such as beta blockers. It is also important to monitor your health and contact your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Hypersympathicotonia is a painful condition in which unconditioned reflexes of the sympathoadrenal system predominate in combination with increased excitability of the cortical and autonomic nervous structures. The patient experiences severe difficulty falling asleep, and the characteristic state of sleep is superficial sleep. Increased nighttime water consumption is more often noted: it is drunk in small sips even during lunch. Upon awakening, patients note that they do not remember dreams, since they cannot completely fall asleep. Increased sensitivity of the skin to temperature and pain irritations appears. Vasomotor and metabolic disorders are often accompanied by weakness, a feeling of chilliness in the extremities (with the exception of the face and scalp). Body temperature in patients with asthenia can be normal, less often - low-grade. When studying autonomic homeostasis, hyperreactivity is more often detected - a sympathotonic type of the autonomic nervous system. Depending on the leading syndrome, several types of this form of disturbance of autonomic regulation of functions are usually distinguished.

Therapeutic measures for the hypersympathetic form of autonomic dysfunction include treatment of the underlying disease, frequent walks, contrast hardening and vitamin therapy. Treatment of the gastrointestinal tract and physiotherapy are prescribed. You can take baths with soothing herbs at night. Among medications with a sedative effect, valerian, motherwort are prescribed, and in severe cases, phenozepam, sibazon, bellataminal or relanium.
