What to do if cervical spondylosis causes high blood pressure

Hypertension caused by cervical spondylosis may be caused by reactive hypertension due to pain or compression of sympathetic nerves by cervical intervertebral discs, etc. The treatment mainly includes physical therapy and medication. 1. Physiotherapy: For pain-induced reactive hypertension, first of all, cervical spine braking, resting, wearing a neck brace, relieving pressure on the vertebrae; secondly, heat therapy, massage, traction, rehabilitation training and other methods can be chosen to accelerate the blood circulation around the neck, widen the vertebral space, reduce the compression, and alleviate the pain. 2. Medication: Patients with hypertension or pain caused by cervical intervertebral disc compression of sympathetic nerves can choose medication to assist them, such as oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as meloxicam; oral methylcobalamin and other nutritive nerves, static mannitol, etc., to reduce swelling and reduce compression. Patients with blood pressure greater than 140/90mmHg also need oral nifedipine tablets, metoprolol tablets, etc. to lower blood pressure. The above medications need to be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid self-medication. If hypertension caused by cervical spondylosis is diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
