With the improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to health issues, and the health of the autonomic nervous system is also receiving more and more attention. But many people don't understand the dangers of autonomic nervous system disorders, especially autonomic nervous system disorders. Below, let's take a closer look at the hidden dangers of autonomic function in autonomic nervous system disorders.

First of all, you need to know what the autonomic nervous system is. It is composed of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, which mainly regulates various physiological functions within the body. The sympathetic nervous system puts the body in a state of excitement, promotes the body's oxygen consumption, decomposes energy and produces a large amount of metabolic waste, controls the heartbeat, and the heartbeat caused by sympathetic nerve excitation, lifts high blood pressure, and dilates the trachea. The parasympathetic nervous system balances and restrains the sympathetic nervous system, by lowering the heartbeat, lowering blood pressure, relaxing muscles, reducing digestive movements, reducing pupils and other physiological reactions, so that the body can quickly return to a stable state after tension. When the autonomic nervous system is out of balance, a series of physiological problems often arise. First of all, cardiovascular disease is one of the typical manifestations of autonomic nervous system disorders. In a state of sympathetic overexcitation, it can lead to cardiovascular disorders, which again aggravate the excitability of the sympathetic nerves. This continuous circulation causes the heart to not get enough rest, and various cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, angina, and myocardial infarction occur.

Secondly, digestive problems are also typical manifestations of autonomic disorders. In the state of sympathetic excitement, the digestive function is relatively reduced, while in the state of parasympathetic excitement, the digestive function is relatively improved. When the autonomic nervous system is out of balance, it can lead to an imbalance between these two systems, and the digestive function is inhibited, which can cause digestive problems such as stomach problems, gastric ulcers, and gastrointestinal disorders. Third, the imbalance of metabolic response is also one of the manifestations of autonomic dysregulation. The state of overexcitability of the sympathetic nervous system can lead to the intake of a large amount of high-calorie food, which can lead to the body's metabolism being too fast and unable to effectively use the body's reserves, which may lead to metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Finally, neuroendocrine disorders are also one of the manifestations of autonomic disorders. The parasympathetic nervous system can make the human body enter a relaxed state, make the hormone secretion in the body more even and stable, and regulate various physiological and psychological reactions of the body. When the autonomic nervous system is out of balance, the excitation of the sympathetic nerve will lead to neuroendocrine imbalance, such as thyroid dysfunction, reproductive system disorder, etc., which affect people's physical health and reproductive ability.

In conclusion, dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system can not only lead to physical problems, but also psychological problems, which can affect a person's physical health and quality of life. Therefore, we should attach great importance to the health of the autonomic nervous system, balance the role of the autonomic nervous system, pay special attention to diet and psychological regulation, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
