GABA, which regulates autonomic nervous system, is used for neurosis. What should we pay attention to when taking it for a long time?

Huazi was chatting with a friend. He complained to Huazi that the current hospital level was not good. He went to the hospital for many tests, but no disease was found. Huazi felt funny and said that if no disease was found, it meant that there was no disease, which was a good thing. But the friend said that his symptoms were very serious. He always felt uncomfortable in his heart and had symptoms of indigestion. Constipation and diarrhea appeared alternately, which made him suffer.

Huazi told his friends that after a detailed examination, no cause was found, but there were specific symptoms, so it was most likely a neurosis, and he could take GABA to regulate the autonomic nervous system.

1. Neurosis with no known cause

The internal organs and glands of the human body are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is not controlled by the subjective consciousness of the human body, so it is also called the vegetative nervous system. When there is long-term anxiety, tension, greater mental stimulation, and excessive psychological pressure, the vegetative nervous system is prone to disorder, leading to glandular secretion disorders.

When the autonomic nervous system is disturbed, various symptoms will occur, the most common of which are cardiovascular and digestive system symptoms. For example, abnormal blood pressure, chest tightness, palpitations, vomiting, abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea, etc. However, when going to the hospital for examination, no definite organic lesions can be found.

2. Oryzanol can regulate autonomic nervous system disorders

Huazi's advice to his friend is to take oryzanol to regulate the autonomic nervous system. Oryzanol is a substance extracted from grain oils such as rice bran oil and germ oil. It can be used to regulate autonomic nervous dysfunction, stabilize tension and anxiety, and improve sleep quality.

Oryzanol can reduce the excitability of myocardial cells by regulating autonomic nervous function. When neurosis leads to symptoms such as tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, premature beats, etc., causing heart discomfort, metoprolol can be used in combination with oryzanol to relieve related symptoms.

When autonomic nervous system disorders cause gastrointestinal spasms, excessive gastric acid secretion, or abdominal distension, oryzanol can be used in combination with antispasmodics, antacids, or gastrointestinal motility drugs to improve symptoms. When treating gastric and duodenal ulcers, oryzanol can also be used as an auxiliary treatment to improve the treatment effect.

Autonomic nervous system disorders may cause cerebral vasoconstriction, resulting in vascular neuropathic migraine. At this time, oryzanol can be used in combination with flunarizine, nimodipine, betahistine and other drugs that improve brain circulation to improve migraine symptoms. Oryzanol can also be used in combination with methylcobalamin to treat peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients, which can improve treatment efficiency.

3. What should I pay attention to when taking oryzanol for a long time?

Oryzanol can play a variety of roles by regulating the autonomic nervous system. It is a "multi-talented expert", but its own role is weak. When used alone, the effect is not obvious. It often needs to be combined with other drugs to effectively improve symptoms. Although the word "vitamin" is in the name of Oryzanol, it is not a vitamin itself, so it is not recommended to be taken as a health supplement on a daily basis.

When taking oryzanol for a long time or in large quantities, side effects may occur. The most common is gastrointestinal reactions, such as stomach discomfort, nausea and other symptoms, but they are usually mild. Taking the medicine during meals or within 15 minutes after meals can reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Gastrointestinal discomfort caused by oryzanol disappears after stopping the drug, which can be used to distinguish whether the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort are caused by the disease or the adverse reaction of the drug. For people with peptic ulcers, taking oryzanol may aggravate the original symptoms, so it should be used together with acid-stopping drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

A small number of people may experience adverse reactions such as fatigue, rash, breast swelling, excessive oil secretion, and weight gain after taking the medicine. If an allergic reaction occurs, you need to avoid taking oryzanol. Oryzanol is an over-the-counter drug that can be purchased and taken by yourself. If the symptoms are still not relieved after taking it for 7 days, you should see a doctor in time to confirm whether the medicine is suitable for your condition.

In summary, oryzanol can regulate the function of autonomic nerves and improve various symptoms caused by neurosis, such as the cardiovascular system, digestive system, and nervous system. It often needs to be used in combination with other drugs to achieve better therapeutic effects. However, oryzanol is not a vitamin and cannot be taken as a health product by people without diseases.
