Can degenerative changes in the cervical spine cause stomach pain?

Cervical degenerative disc compression of the vertebral artery and nerve is likely to cause stomach pain. 1. There are a large number of sympathetic postganglionic fibers around the vertebral artery, and the compression of the vertebral artery by the degenerative disc will stimulate the corresponding nerves and produce autonomic symptoms, which are manifested as gastrointestinal hypoplasia, nausea and vomiting, and autonomic disorders will also produce the symptoms of stomach pain. 2. Cervical spondylosis compression of the nerve root will produce severe pain, stimulate the release of vasoactive substances, vasodilatation, causing neurogenic stress, secondary organism stress response, producing gastric stress ulcers, resulting in stomach pain. If you suspect that you have cervical degenerative disease, you should go to the hospital in time, and should not be ignored, so as not to deteriorate the development of the disease, affecting the prognosis.
