It is possible for cervical spondylosis to cause dyspnea. There are several mechanisms by which cervical spondylosis can cause dyspnea: 1. Cervical spondylosis has the potential to directly inhibit the respiratory center, thereby producing dyspnea. In the case of a high cervical spondylosis attack, the cervical medulla may be stimulated by direct compression or inflammatory edema, which may inhibit the respiratory center and even lead to respiratory and cardiac arrest in severe cases. 2. It may lead to respiratory-related muscle weakness. During an attack of neurogenic cervical spondylosis or spinal cord cervical spondylosis, it may cause the muscles around the thorax that are related to breathing, that is, the muscles that can move in concert with breathing, to produce symptoms of weakness, and then lead to breathing difficulties. 3. Cervical spondylosis may lead to sympathetic nerve stimulation, which may cause the patient to feel chest tightness, dyspnea, palpitations and a series of other symptoms.
