Cervical spondylosis has the potential to cause increased blood pressure. There are different types of cervical spondylosis, and all types of cervical spondylosis may cause an increase in blood pressure, but the specific causes of hypertension are different. Take neurogenic cervical spondylosis and vertebral artery cervical spondylosis as examples: 1. neurogenic cervical spondylosis: it is more common clinically, mainly through compression of nerve roots resulting in local cervical pain, accompanied by radioactive numbness and pain in the limbs, etc. This painful stimulation may induce an increase in blood pressure; 2. vertebral artery cervical spondylosis: it is mainly due to compression of the vertebral artery, which causes many manifestations of insufficient blood supply to the brain The patient may have dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness and other related symptoms. It is likely that the compression of the vertebral artery directly stimulates the blood vessels, causing spasm of the blood vessels and stimulating the nerves around the blood vessels, so that the vascular compression causes excitation of the sympathetic nerves and reflexively causes an increase in blood pressure. In addition, when cervical spondylosis strikes, patients often suffer from pain and restlessness and poor sleep, which may also lead to an increase in blood pressure. If cervical spondylosis is actively treated, blood pressure will return to normal levels after remission. If the blood pressure remains elevated after the cervical spondylosis improves, it is important to consider that you may have primary hypertension. Primary hypertension is mainly triggered by a combination of external factors such as genetic factors and poor lifestyle. If the patient’s genetic factors cannot be changed and the cause cannot be removed, the patient’s blood pressure will continue to rise for a long time and needs to be controlled with medication.
