Cervical spine related diseases

  First, the blood pressure rose two months ago, Miss Lin found her blood pressure rose, took antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure is still poorly controlled. She was feeling distracted when Miss Lin occurred again, head and neck pain can not move, friends recommended her to go to the hospital for treatment.  The doctor heard that Ms. Lin will often pillow, she proposed to take a neck X-ray. The results confirmed that Miss Lin’s pillow is caused by cervical spondylosis, so targeted treatment. Some time later, Miss Lin’s cervical spondylosis has improved, and the elevated blood pressure has returned to normal.  Tip: When the cervical spine is misaligned or hyperplastic, it will compress and stimulate the adjacent vertebral artery or cervical sympathetic ganglion, resulting in spasm of the vertebral artery and insufficient blood supply to the basilar artery, reflexively causing increased excitability of the vasomotor center and causing an increase in blood pressure.  Second, bloating constipation Mr. Yang often constipation, sometimes four or five days to defecate once, by oral laxative can only solve the emergency. Although a variety of tests, persistent constipation still can not find the cause.  Once, a doctor friend of Mr. Yang visited, heard that he often feel arm tingling, so he went to the hospital for examination, and for his symptoms of muscle spasm around the cervical spine, he did a neck release. As a result, not only did his arm numbness and pain improve, but his stubborn constipation was also cured.  Tip: Some patients with cervical spondylosis are stimulated by damage to the adjacent cervical sympathetic nerve, which is transmitted to the brain, causing increased excitability of the nerves concerned and slowing down the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract of the internal organs innervated by them, thus leading to abdominal distension and constipation.  Third, tachycardia Mr. Zhang is careful about what he does lately. This is not, once someone called him from behind, he turned around and his heart suddenly beat fast. The day before yesterday, he woke up and just twisted his neck and developed angina symptoms. He went to the hospital for a series of heart tests and found nothing wrong. The doctor asked him carefully about the details of each episode of heart discomfort and suspected that he had cervical spondylosis, so he was asked to take a film for examination, which was confirmed.  Tip: Cervical spondylosis triggers cardiac discomfort, which mainly occurs when the fourth cervical nerve root is stimulated by cervical spine osteophytes. This is associated with a sudden change in the position of the neck.
