Introduction
Autonomic dysfunction usually refers to an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, resulting in a loss of mutual regulation and causing various physical discomforts. It may be caused by genetic predisposition, poor physical health, or inadequate psychological resilience, leading to disturbances in the autonomic nervous system, including the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.
Autonomic dysfunction usually refers to an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, resulting in a loss of mutual regulation and causing various physical discomforts.
This condition may arise due to inherited genetic predispositions or poor physical and psychological resilience, leading to dysregulation of the autonomic nerves including the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The disease can cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and palpitations. If left untreated and allowed to progress, it may lead to abnormalities in multiple systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, and urogenital systems. Diagnosis can be made through tests such as the卧立位试验 (postural change test) and skin scratch test.
For mild cases of autonomic dysfunction, improvements can be achieved through general measures such as maintaining a healthy diet, adjusting one's mindset, and engaging in moderate exercise. In more severe cases, medications that help regulate autonomic nerve function—such as vitamin B1 and oryzanol—may be used under a doctor's guidance to promote recovery.
