For the often sedentary workplace, cervical spondylosis is almost an “occupational disease” that is difficult to avoid. Most people think that the cervical spondylosis is only caused by shoulder and back pain, and severe dizziness, nausea and so on. But in fact, the cervical spondylosis, but also to the body will bring serious “internal injuries”, high blood pressure, heart disease, stomach upset …… these seemingly unrelated to the cervical spondylosis disease, may be triggered by the cervical spine problem. Why is cervical spondylosis easy to cause “internal injuries”? The neck is connected to the head and torso parts, the location is extremely important, and here the blood vessels and nerves are very rich, cervical spine problems, may be involved in the whole body. Some hypertensive disorders may also be related to the cervical spine. This is related to the derangement of the blood supply of the cervical arteries caused by cervical spondylosis, as well as the dysfunction of the sympathetic nerves in the neck caused by stimulation. Specifically, the sympathetic ganglion in the neck is attached to the transverse process of the cervical spine. When the transverse process is displaced by cervical vertebrae misalignment, or when cervical vertebrae misalignment causes aseptic inflammation, the stimulation of the sympathetic ganglion may lead to sympathetic excitation, which may cause cerebral vasospasm and result in elevated blood pressure. If this stimulation persists, it will affect the function of the diastolic center of the cerebral blood vessels, making cervical spondylosis patients suffer from hypertension. In addition, if there are bone spurs growing in the anterior part of the cervical spine, they will also compress the esophagus, causing patients to have digestive problems. Some patients with cervical spondylosis often feel “eating blocked panic” “stomach burning panic”, in fact, may not always be digestive system lesions, it is likely to be cervical spondylosis caused trouble. In addition, in some cases, cervical spine problems can cause nerve stimulation in the neck, and the heart can become abnormal because of this nerve stimulation, causing patients to experience symptoms such as panic, shortness of breath, chest and back pain, and feel like they have a heart attack. How can I tell if whiplash is to blame? Overall, the incidence of high blood pressure, heart disease and stomach disease induced by cervical spondylosis is not high, but because they are easily misdiagnosed, some patients take medication on their own, making it very easy for them to delay their condition and even cause serious consequences. So, how to determine whether these diseases are caused by cervical spondylosis? Chen Xu pointed out that it can be recognized through some details. For example, patients with primary hypertension usually only high blood pressure, and take antihypertensive drugs after blood pressure will soon be stabilized. The cervical spondylosis hypertension patients, in addition to high blood pressure, will be accompanied by symptoms of cervical spondylosis, such as headache, dizziness, neck, shoulder and back straightness or pain, upper limb weakness, numbness of the fingers and so on. There is another obvious manifestation, that is, this kind of high blood pressure is not easy to control by drugs, when the symptoms of cervical spondylosis aggravate, the blood pressure will rise more, when the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are relieved, the blood pressure will also fall, which is an important basis for judging cervical spondylosis hypertension. The basis for determining cervical spondylosis-induced gastrointestinal discomfort and heart problems is similar. When you feel “burning stomach”, you can take some acid-suppressing drugs; when you feel panic, shortness of breath, chest and back pain, you can check the electrocardiogram and take some vasodilating drugs. Of course, all of the above treatments need to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, if these treatments can not make the symptoms ease, and at the same time there are neck and shoulder pain, dizziness and nausea and other manifestations, we must highly doubt whether it is a cervical spondylosis problem. Therefore, comparing the degree of pain of cervical spondylosis with that of other diseases is a more effective means of identification.
