Vegetative Storm

A vegetative storm is a condition that manifests itself as a combination of suddenly occurring, pronounced vegetative disorders. It is most often observed with damage to the central parts of the autonomic nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in controlling body functions such as blood pressure, muscle tone, heart rate, digestion and many others. Autonomic storm occurs when these functions become dysregulated.

Symptoms of an autonomic storm may include a sudden increase or decrease in blood pressure, rapid pulse, sweating, feeling hot or cold, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and depressed mood.

The causes of autonomic storm can be varied, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, infections, metabolic disorders, and mental disorders.

Treatment of autonomic storm may include the use of medications aimed at eliminating symptoms, as well as restoring the functions of the autonomic nervous system. It is important to seek medical help as soon as possible to avoid possible complications.

In conclusion, autonomic storm is a serious condition that can result from dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. It is important to pay attention to the symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible to avoid possible complications.

Vegetative storms are a symptom of many diseases, including diseases of the nervous, endocrine systems, respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems. Depending on the diagnosis, autonomic disorders can be both signs of diseases such as bronchial asthma, metabolic syndrome, thyroid pathologies, migraines, and precursors of many cancers. Autonomic changes in blood pressure can cause the development of meteosensitivity. During a vegetative storm, the blood supply to the brain deteriorates, which causes a sharp decrease in attention and rapid fatigue.

Headache is considered one of the most common and pronounced, although not dangerous, forms of autonomic disorders. This disorder can manifest itself both in the form of migraines and attacks, and in the form of morning pain, which is periodic in nature. Such attacks can be ignored, going away on their own with normal breathing or physical activity, but there is also a risk of developing a stroke. Headache can provoke the development of panic attacks, which are a serious symptom for a specialist and signal possible pathologies of the nervous system or internal organs. Often, such disorders are caused by vascular diseases, infectious and chronic diseases, stress, and overwork. Diagnosis of the disease is necessary based on certain symptoms or the results of examination and blood tests.
