Many people will suspect whether they have cervical spondylosis because of neck pain and shoulder soreness, but in fact, the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are much more complicated than the general public imagines. The diagnosis of cervical spondylosis is not as simple as people think, and the clinician needs to carefully inquire into the medical history, and on the basis of physical examination and auxiliary examination, make careful analysis and identification before reaching a conclusion. So, how much do you know about cervical spondylosis, atypical symptoms? 1, panic, chest tightness 24-year-old Mr. Mud is an IT company employee, panic, chest tightness has been occurring for six months. He had a comprehensive examination in the cardiovascular department of the community hospital, and the results were normal. Then he took Chinese herbal medicine for three months, but no improvement was seen. More annoyingly, because these symptoms caused him to be depressed, the doctor diagnosed him with depression. Finally, he went to the hospital to have his cervical spine examined, and it was only after the photos that he found that the cervical 2 vertebrae were skewed. Patients with cervical spondylosis are often encountered in outpatient clinics with symptoms of heartburn and chest tightness, and they themselves think that there is something wrong with their heart. However, a checkup at the hospital showed that there was no problem with the heart. Why? In fact, these patients suffer from sympathetic cervical spondylosis. When the sympathetic nerve is excited, it may also cause heartburn, chest tightness, back pain, etc. 2, bloating discomfort, no appetite In clinical practice, there are many patients who suffer from increased nerve excitability due to stimulation and injury to the cervical sympathetic nerve, which triggers a slowing of gastrointestinal motility and eventually leads to abdominal distension. There was a 38-year-old personnel director of a private company who had just changed to a new workplace for a month and took a nap on his desk every day at noon. He had an appetite for food. Why? When the hard crest membrane and other tissues are irritated and compressed, the sympathetic reflexes will cause symptoms of gastric discomfort and thus bloating and poor appetite. 3, toothache Some patients have toothache and have seen the dentist, and they always do not get better. This may also be caused by cervical spondylosis. Why? Because if cervical degenerative disease causes compression of the cervical sympathetic nerve located in front of the fifth cervical vertebra and the fifth cervical transverse process, the resulting abnormal stimulation will be transmitted from the sympathetic nerve in the neck to the trigeminal crest nucleus pulposus, and then from the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve to the alveolus, causing severe pain in the lower teeth, while the teeth themselves are not diseased. For a long time to cure the toothache, you may also want to check the cervical spine. 4, eye fatigue Modern people’s work often need to face the computer, for a long time, often feel uncomfortable eyes, see things easily fatigue, vision is also a little decline, dry eyes. 38-year-old graphic designer Ms. Huang recently a significant decline in vision, after ophthalmology treatment did not see significant improvement, after the cervical spine examination, found to be the atlantoaxial joint disorder, after manual reset and acupuncture treatment, three days to get better. Why? This is because of autonomic disorders caused by cervical spondylosis and ischemic lesions in the visual center of the occipital lobe of the brain caused by insufficient blood supply to the vertebrobasilar artery. 5. Sudden fainting Often, the body loses support and faints when standing or walking because of sudden head twisting, and can wake up soon after falling without any impairment of consciousness. These patients may also suffer from dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sweating and other symptoms. Why? This is due to the cervical vertebrae misalignment compressing the vertebral artery causing impaired blood supply to the basilar artery, resulting in a sudden fainting due to a temporary lack of cerebral blood supply. 6, breast pain 33-year-old Ms. Liu, due to neck and shoulder discomfort to the hospital Chinese medicine department. After a course of treatment, she surprisingly told the doctor that her breast pain for many years had disappeared, and that she had seen many mammologists before without any improvement. Why? The slow onset of intractable unilateral pectoralis major and breast pain is associated with compression of the cervical 6 and cervical 7 nerve roots by cervical spurs. Breast pain caused by cervical spondylosis has certain characteristics: it often hurts on one side and is accompanied by neck and shoulder back pain, but a routine breast examination is not abnormal.
