The presence of cervical spine stickiness and abnormal sweating should be considered as a result of cervical spondylosis. The central type of cervical spondylosis that compresses the spinal cord and causes sympathetic symptoms will result in this particular clinical manifestation, as well as headache, migraine, nausea, vomiting or abnormal state of vision and hearing, and abnormal sweating in the head, neck and upper limbs, which are frequent symptoms of sympathetic excitatory cervical spondylosis and can be highly suspected as cervical spondylosis. Normally, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and anterior chest pain, but there are no obvious abnormalities in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular examinations. In this case, a CT or MRI examination of the cervical spine should be performed promptly to rule out cervical spondylosis, especially if the cervical spine osteophytes are extruding the spinal cord.
