Third, cause changes in blood pressure
Cervical spondylosis can cause an increase or decrease in blood pressure, with more elevated blood pressure, called “cervical hypertension”. Especially in young patients. This is because of the hardening of the collateral ligament, the misalignment and hyperplasia of the cervical spine can compress the vertebral artery or cervical sympathetic ganglion, resulting in cerebral ischemia, reflexively causing an increase in the excitability of the vasomotor center, leading to an increase in blood pressure.
Fourth, cervical heart syndrome
Some people feel discomfort such as pain in the precordial region, chest tightness and rapid heartbeat when they twist their necks. This may be generated by the stimulation of the fourth nerve root of the cervical spine, which is prone to occur when the neck position is suddenly changed.
V. Sudden collapse
Sudden vertigo often occurs when standing or walking because of sudden head twisting, and the body loses support and falls, and can wake up soon after falling, without impairment of consciousness or after-effects.
