Sometimes the illness appears out of nowhere, and it’s unclear what’s going on… Doctors often respond to this with the phrase, “vegetative-vascular dystonia.”
We are naturally wired to respond to external stimuli. This means that every desire and emotion must have an outlet: be it aggression, laughter, or crying. Our time, however, dictates different norms and rules, forcing people to curb their reactions. We have to restrain ourselves, pull ourselves together, and take control of the situation each time. But we are unable to control our muscles, blood vessels, and heart. Therefore, under any stressful conditions, our brain automatically sends a signal to our muscles to tense and contract. Since the same areas of the body are usually involved, this condition becomes entrenched and worsens over time. As a result, the body begins to react inappropriately to environmental factors.
Many experts believe that the predisposition to vegetative-vascular dystonia begins in infancy. Later, stress, an unhealthy lifestyle, and:
- chronic physical fatigue;
- injuries;
- hypothermia
serve as a trigger for the disease’s activation.
There’s a concept called “body language”—it tells a person what hurts and where. A person should learn to understand themselves and begin to react less to external stimuli, treating everything with a healthy dose of indifference. This is if, of course, they want to improve their health. And, of course, those who devote at least a minimal amount of time to physical exercise are in better shape than those who prefer a “couch potato” lifestyle.
