Can cervical spondylosis cause high blood pressure

Cervical spondylosis may cause hypertension, but it is generally rare. When cervical spine degeneration, herniation, hyperplasia and other lesions compress blood vessels and cause obstruction of blood supply to the brain and spinal cord or stimulate sympathetic nerves and cause vasoconstriction, symptoms such as increased blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, and discomfort in the neck and shoulders may occur. Secondary hypertension caused by cervical spondylosis also requires the application of antihypertensive drugs within a short period of time to avoid adverse consequences caused by high blood pressure. Generally speaking, after treatment of cervical spondylosis, the blood pressure will also decrease after the symptoms are relieved, and long-term use of antihypertensive drugs is not required in the later stage. However, primary hypertension may require continuous medication. It is rare to see simple cervical spondylosis cause high blood pressure in the clinic, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination, find out the cause of high blood pressure, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out further treatment, do not blindly use the medication on your own, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
