Vegetovascular dystonia is a dysregulation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. When we are worried, we may sweat, when we are upset, we want to cry, when we are bored - we yawn. At rest, our heart beats more slowly. If we feel danger, the pulse quickens, and the blood actively rushes to the muscles. But when the regulation is broken, the body can make mistakes and "give out" an increased pulse at rest, for example. It is in these errors that the symptoms of VVD lie.
