What is cervical hypertension

Cervical hypertension refers to aseptic inflammatory changes in the cervical discs due to cervical spine strain, degenerative changes in the cervical spine, or trauma. A bulging or herniated disc in the 2nd to 7th vertebrae of the cervical spine can directly or indirectly compress and stimulate the sympathetic nerves, causing hypofunction of the vertebral arteries or disorders of vasoconstriction and diastole, resulting in inadequate blood supply to the intracranial vessels, for example, inadequate blood supply to the basilar artery, causing abnormal changes in blood pressure, usually resulting in increased blood pressure, which is called cervical hypertension. Hypertension, the main cause of this hypertension, sympathetic nerve dysfunction can also cause the above-mentioned cervical hypertension to occur.
