How to Treat Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction
Disease description:
I had insomnia almost every day last year, and experienced a reversed day-night cycle for about six months. Now, I sometimes feel palpitations with slight physical activity, and occasionally even when walking. At times, everything seems normal. The doctor diagnosed me with autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Therefore, how can autonomic nervous system dysfunction be treated?

The main methods for treating autonomic dysfunction include the following aspects:
1. Psychological counseling: Through professional psychological consultation or therapy, patients can relieve daily stress and improve emotional status, which helps alleviate symptoms of autonomic dysfunction.
2. Medication: Commonly used medications include Oryzanol and Vitamin B1, which help regulate autonomic nervous function. Patients with severe symptoms may require anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications, such as Deanxit (Flupentixol/Melitracen) or Sertraline, but these should be used under a doctor's guidance.
3. Lifestyle improvements: Maintain good作息 habits, avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue. Engage in appropriate physical activities to strengthen physical health and improve sleep quality. Maintain a balanced diet and supplement essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
4. Comprehensive treatment: For severe cases of autonomic dysfunction, a comprehensive treatment approach is recommended, including integrated Chinese and Western medicine, physical therapy, psychotherapy, and other methods.
If symptoms are severe or persist without improvement, timely medical consultation is advised.
