Vegetovascular dystonia (VVD): treatment, drugs

Vegetovascular dystonia is a very common disease today. Pathology is provoked by impaired functioning of the nervous system. People suffering from this ailment experience a deterioration in well-being, and there are incomprehensible malfunctions in the operation of some systems. Many doctors do not refer this pathology to serious diseases. Despite this, patients require adequate treatment for VVD. Drugs that can bring relief should be prescribed by a competent specialist. After all, pathology can adversely affect many organs.

How is the disease manifested?

Vegetative-vascular dystonia is a combination of mental pathologies of a person’s autonomic nervous system , which is responsible for the continuous, coordinated work of the whole organism. This disease is very specific, since the symptoms of its manifestations are still not fully understood. And not even every experienced doctor will be able to understand the first time that his patient has dystonia - it is so similar to many other diseases.

However, to date, doctors still managed to identify several distinctive signs of the IRR:

1. Increased or, conversely, too low a pulse, spasmodic fluctuations in pressure, pain in the left side of the chest.
2. Certain difficulties in breathing in and out, shortness of breath, frequent breathing caused by a sensation of suffocation (lack of air).
3. Diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, bloating, nausea.
4. High fever or chills, a feeling of cold in the fingers and toes, excessive sweating may appear.
5. Often there are complaints of dizziness and conditions close to fainting, headaches are observed with VVD.
6. Too frequent visits to the restroom, pain during urination and discomfort in the genital area are possible.
7. Very rarely possible mental disorders: paranoia, anxiety and anxiety, the causes of which a person usually can not explain. It is not excluded the appearance of various phobias that did not take place before the disease. The patient is characterized by low activity and performance caused by an increase in the threshold of body fatigue. There is a bad mood, sleep disturbance.
8. Change in skin color: from painfully pale to all kinds of shades of cyanosis. Representatives of the female sex may cause inflammation on the face, neck and décolleté.
9. Dependence of a person’s state and his mood on the weather (manifestation of meteorological dependence).

Of course, it is quite difficult to cope with so many manifestations with one medication. Most often, the patient requires complex treatment for VVD. Individually selected drugs will eliminate negative symptoms much faster. Therefore, it is completely undesirable to practice self-medication.

Drug therapy

What is the recommended treatment for people with VSD? Drugs that can help with this pathology are a huge list of medicines. After all, an illness is characterized by a too large list of symptoms.

However, this does not mean that all the drugs listed in this list must be included in the treatment program. It’s just the opposite. Prescribing an excessive amount of pharmacological agents to a patient is the highest sign of a doctor’s incompetence. After all, such an approach will not only not help in curing the disease, but will also significantly worsen the situation. Do not forget about this if you need treatment from the IRR.

Drugs designed to combat both the symptoms of the disease and the disease itself are divided into several groups.

Sedatives

Such medications should be selected based on their main component. It is better to give preference to soothing, made on the basis of plant extracts.

These are drugs such as:

• "Valerian";

Such medicines are often prescribed to patients. Therefore, we consider some of them:

1. Taking Cavinton medicine (the price of which is not at all high) improves cerebral blood supply, dilates blood vessels, and helps to better utilize glucose. This effect is achieved due to the relaxing effect of the product on smooth muscle tissue. Another positive aspect of the drug is an increase in the plasticity of red bodies in the blood and a decrease in its viscosity. However, it is worth knowing about its pitfalls. Sometimes Cavinton medicine contributes to a slight decrease in pressure. The price of this medication is 252 rubles for 50 tablets.
2. The action of the drug "Stugeron" is also aimed at vasodilation. However, he, unlike his fellow described above, has little effect on the level of blood pressure. This is his undoubted plus. In addition to all this, Stugeron has an antihistamine effect. It reduces the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system, gives red blood cells elasticity. So characterizes the drug "Stugeron" instruction. Reviews of patients indicate that the use of this drug as intended allows you to significantly improve the condition and eliminate many negative symptoms.

Blood Pressure Reducing Drugs

Due to its wide symptomatology, vegetovascular dystonia does not belong to those diseases, the determination of the presence of which in a person is easier than the lung. Therefore, the range of tools designed to combat this ailment is quite voluminous. Some of the drugs have a dual effect. For example, the drug “Barboval” (a sedative, increasing cardiac metabolism) or “Tincture of hawthorn” (lowers blood pressure, eliminates chest pain). It is important to remember that all medications should be prescribed by a doctor. Self-medication is inappropriate in this matter.
