What are the dangerous complications that autonomic disorders can lead to if left untreated?

The harm of autonomic disorders includes symptoms of circulatory system function, digestive system function and sexual dysfunction, and the patient is mainly due to the temporary imbalance of some physiological functions of the human body induced by psychological and social factors.

The autonomic nervous system innervates the activity and secretion of internal organs (digestive tract, cardiovascular, respiratory tract, bladder, etc.), endocrine glands and sweat glands, and is involved in regulating glucose, fat, water and electrolyte metabolism, as well as body temperature, sleep and blood pressure. When sympathetic function is reduced or parasympathetic hyperfunction occurs, miosis, increased saliva secretion, slowed heart rate, vasodilation, decreased blood pressure, increased gastrointestinal peristalsis and secretion by the digestive glands, increased hepatic glycogen stores to increase absorption, and bladder and rectal contractions promote the elimination of waste products. When the parasympathetic function is reduced or the sympathetic nerve function is hyperactive, it is manifested as dilated pupils, widened eye fissures, proptosis of the globe, increased heart rate, constriction of visceral and ** blood vessels, increased blood pressure, rapid breathing, bronchiectasis, inhibition of gastrointestinal peristaltic secretion, increased blood glucose and increased peripheral blood volume.

Therefore, when autonomic dysfunction is disordered, its clinical manifestations can involve multiple systems of the body, such as cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine system, metabolic system, genitourinary system, etc., and patients feel that there are many symptoms. For example, heart neurosis such as chest tightness, breathlessness, palpitation, and a sense of impending death; gastrointestinal neuroses such as stomach pain, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.; Some patients present with headache and dizziness, blurred vision, insomnia, forgetfulness, numbness, itching, tightness, stiffness and discomfort all over the body, numbness of the limbs, fever in the hands and feet, fever all over the body, but the body temperature is normal, the whole body is hot and sweaty, or the whole body has migratory pain, abnormal feeling of migratory sex, irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea in women, sperm loss and impotence in men. It is often accompanied by emotional changes such as anxiety, nervousness, and depression, and is generally ineffective according to organic diseases such as coronary heart disease and gastritis.

1. Some specific symptoms of autonomic disorder and depression are very similar to the clinical symptoms, both of which have many mental and physical symptoms. However, depression is generally based on mental symptoms, often inexplicable irritability and a lot of anxiety, crying and mourning faces, indifferent expressions, strong inferiority complex, obvious negative emotions, pessimistic and misanthropic, and usually have suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

2. At the same time, it is accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, bloating and many other similar digestive symptoms, as well as insomnia, headache, palpitation, shortness of breath, tightness, fatigue, physical discomfort and other symptoms. If autonomic disorders have predominantly physical symptoms, psychiatric symptoms are often caused by somatic symptoms, and some psychiatric symptoms are milder than depression.

3. Although I have the idea of being misanthropic and suicidal, I don't put it into action, I just feel that life is boring, I feel that life is very tired, I am not interested in some things, and I often can't be happy. At the same time, it was accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms, circulatory and respiratory symptoms, but through the relevant clinical instrument examination, there was no corresponding positive pathological examination result.
