What are the main symptoms of autonomic disorders?

Neurological disorders can cause symptoms in many systems. Common symptoms are dizziness, headache, and discomfort in the head. It can also manifest as sleep disturbance:

Some patients have difficulty falling asleep, and some patients have easy awakening, early awakening, and dreaming. Autonomic dysfunction can also manifest as digestive discomfort such as bloating, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Some patients will experience chest tightness, palpitation, and chest pain, which may be mistaken for heart disease.

In summary, autonomic dysfunction can present with many symptoms, and the diagnosis can only be made after the exclusion of organic diseases.

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.

Autonomic disorders can cause a variety of clinical symptoms, such as chest tightness, breathlessness, palpitation, a sense of impending death and other cardiac neuroses, stomach pain, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal neuroses. Other clinical manifestations such as excessive sweating, headache, dizziness, deterioration of vision, insomnia, forgetfulness, numbness, itching, dysmenorrhea and so on can occur.

1. Gastrointestinal disorders, mainly manifested as gastrointestinal disorders, gastrointestinal neurosis, gastric diseases, etc., such as diarrhea, gastric distention, gastric acid, indigestion, gastric ulcer, heartburn, gastric colic, gastric bleeding, superficial gastritis, bile reflux gastritis, gastric mucosal erosion, etc.

2. Cardiac nervous disorders, manifested as visceral beating, chest tightness, chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, breathlessness, precordial pain, tightness of blood vessels, long sighs, numbness, itching, ant walking, migratory pain, laryngeal infarction.

3. Cranial nerve disorders, manifested as insomnia and dreams, difficulty falling asleep, early sleep and easy to wake up, shallow sleep, nightmares, dizziness, dizziness, headache, hair bloating, general weakness, easy fatigue, poor appetite, forgetfulness, lack of concentration, not wanting to speak, etc., as well as depression, irritability, anxiety, mania, nervousness, fear, palpitation, rapid heartbeat, numbness, swelling, itching.
