Dizziness

Under dizziness understand the illusory motion ( “hallucination of motion”) fixed the environment in any plane, or a sense of movement of its own body as a result of mismatch of information to the central nervous system from the vestibular, visual and haptic (tactile) sensory systems. When vertigo disrupt the balance – man’s ability to maintain a stable position at rest and while performing different movements.
Dizziness is divided into the vestibular (systemic) and nevestibulyarnoe (non-system).

System dizziness associated with ENT-pathology and is characterized by three main options:

  1. sense of passive movement of the body in space (proprioceptive dizziness);
  2. sense of movement of support under the feet or hands, provalivaniya or rocking of the body, unsteadiness of the soil (tactile vertigo);
  3. sense of forward movement of objects visible environment (visual vertigo).

System dizziness is often combined with hearing loss and other ENT diseases and its duration is typically less than 6 hours.

All other sensations (drunkenness, vomiting, nausea, motion sickness, presyncope, momentary blackouts, a veil or darkening of the eyes, movement or stirring of the head, instability, and stagger when walking, etc.) are nevestibulyarnymi (nonsystematic). They are rarely combined with ENT-pathology and more time-consuming. The most frequent causes of non-system of dizziness:

  1. Lack of circulation in the vertebral-basilar system. It occurs commonly in patients with atherosclerosis, thrombosis, hypertension, disorders of the cervical spine (the most frequent variant, which reduces blood flow in the vertebral arteries as due to strains, subluxations, turning themselves cervical vertebrae, and due to compression of the neck muscles and blood vessels scar-affected tissue, as well as by reflex spasm of blood vessels).
  2. Psycho-autonomic syndromes. As the pain, fear and sadness, dizziness, fall within the subjective experience that is emphasized in the definition of vertigo as a “hallucination of motion”. Dizziness is noted in 79% of patients with hypochondriacal syndrome and 80% of patients with hysterical neurosis, and vestibular hallucinations almost indistinguishable from the system of dizziness, although they are usually more autonomic and neurotic symptoms.
  3. Migraine often (in 72% of cases) is accompanied by dizziness, and in 30% of cases – by the system.
  4. Fainting during dehydration, oxygen deficiency, low blood sugar, trauma accompanied by vertigo and its equivalents (faintness, nausea, flashing “fly” before the eyes, intoxication, ringing in the ears, etc.). Fainting can also be neurogenic, including the sudden change in body position, and in some diseases of the heart.

It is not uncommon for a combination of different causes of dizziness in one person, that could interfere with treatment.

Algorithm tactics surveys for dizziness

  1. Transcranial Doppler (study of blood flow velocity in vessels of the neck and head).
  2. Consultation ENT doctor.
  3. Clinical analysis of blood hematocrit and blood coagulation and blood sugar on an empty stomach.
  4. Ultrasound of the heart and ECG.
  5. Psychological Diagnosis

Carry your baby in her arms!

According to statements by psychologists, a major factor in the proper mental and emotional development of children, is a tactile contact with close relatives, and, above all – with his mother. Studies show that people who do not dopoluchivshee childhood physical manifestations of love, such as kissing, fondling, hugging, etc., in adulthood did not succeed in arranging private life.

Wearing a baby in her arms, Stroke it, kiss, hug – all this is very important to do for a kid from the earliest days of his life. Well, if the child is in the hands or on the lap of the mother, or in a sling when it is engaged in daily affairs, leaves the house, and so on. Heat the maternal body, addressed to the attention, love – all this child understands and feels all he needs.

However, this kind of affection need not only babies but also to older children as a preschool, and school. And despite the fact that at the age of six or seven years, many children, especially boys, are beginning to shy manifestations of maternal feeling, especially in front of strangers, for example, discourage mothers when they want them to hug or kiss, the caress of these children still need .

According to studies, children who have not experienced a lack of maternal affection, less likely to suffer from nightmares, grew more open and trusting. In addition, they are better at school and forge contacts with their peers. And as an adult, the children easily Making his personal life, Created a family.

Psychologists say that a bright childhood memories of people happy in family life, are just weasel mother, father or other relatives. It is a memory of how kids were on his hands, hugging, kissing … Conversely, people living alone can hardly recall similar episodes from the beginning of its life, or to argue that such did not exist.

In fact, oddly enough, it was vacation is one of the most important components of fitness.

Exercise and intensive loads lead to faster metabolism, and "reconfiguring" of the body. As a result, the energy it needs for life, the body begins to get it from their own fat reserves. However, such is not possible if the periods Physical Activity not be interleaved with periods of rest and relaxation. Moreover, growth and strengthening of muscles also occurs during rest, but not directly in the process of training itself.

Thus, fitness without a break is neither full nor effective. And to how to relax, you must follow these rules:

1 - If you lead an active lifestyle, you need to pay not less than one and a half hours a day to passive recreation. Passive is the time when the body is at rest. At this time, you can read a book, watch TV, talk with family, spend time with your loved one, sit on a park bench and so on.

2 - Always sleep as much as you want your body, try to fully sleep, even if it would have to sacrifice some of the vibrant nightlife. Also worth remembering that it is recommended to go no later than midnight and get up - no later than ten o'clock.

3 - Norma activity for each person is unique, but try not to overwork oneself. Signs of fatigue are:

- Apathy, reluctance not only to train, but generally engage in any business.

- A bad dream, in spite of fatigue.

- Too bad, or runaway appetite.

- The excessive increase in pressure and heart palpitations too, as in the fitness, and after some time.

To enable the body to recover and provide energy for the future of life, rest should occupy not less than 15% of the time during which You watch.

How and when to engage in fitness?


A novice, who decided to begin to engage in fitness, just give lots of advice. "Do not do fitness at night - better in the morning!" "Only train on an empty stomach!" "Try to quickly build muscle!" ... These tips pouring from all sides, and often leave a newbie in complete confusion: how and when, in fact the best engage in fitness?

That's what they say about this fitness professionals from:

When the train? When you wish, at any time of day or even night. Exercise in the morning for many people means "cheerfulness" for the whole next day, but if you do not have time or desire to engage in fitness in the first half of the day, you can transfer the physical activity during the afternoon or evening, the effectiveness of this training is not reduced.

Should I eat before training? The answer again depends on individual perception of each individual. Of course, do not load up tightly, but to starve to fitness is also not recommended. It makes sense to listen to their own feelings of some food for some time before training, and to understand how comfortable your body feels.

Strive whether to build muscles? Yes, but do not have to go to extremes. Power exercises should be part of the training, but they should set aside about half of all others, rather than concentrating solely on them.

How much time to train? It is recommended to continue to exercise until you feel mild tiredness (but not completely exhausted) and increase exercise time only when you physically feel it necessary. However, it is important that training was scheduled.

When the first results expected? Typically, the visible effect of training should not be expected sooner than a month and a half after they started. A significant positive changes will occur only after four to six months after the first fitness.
