Cervical osteophytes may lead to headache, dizziness, limb weakness, chest tightness, numbness and other symptoms.
1. Headache and dizziness: Cervical osteophytes may compress the surrounding vertebral arteries, which reduces the amount of arterial blood circulation, thus reducing the amount of blood supplied to the brain, which in turn leads to headache and dizziness.
2. Weakness of limbs: If cervical spondylolisthesis compresses the spinal cord structure, it will lead to abnormal motor function and sensory function, which will easily cause numbness and weakness of limbs.
3. Chest tightness: when cervical vertebrae degenerate and form bone spurs, they will compress the sympathetic nerves around them, which will lead to metabolic abnormality and chest tightness and elevated blood pressure.
4. Numbness: Cervical spine bone spurs will compress the nerve roots, causing numbness and abnormal sensation in the area involved in the nerve roots.
Headache, dizziness, etc., need to actively consult the doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment.
