Can cervical spondylosis compress the heart?

It is impossible for cervical spondylosis to compress the heart. Usually, patients with cervical spondylosis will experience discomfort in the heart area, such as chest tightness and panic attacks, which are caused by sympathetic cervical spondylosis, where there are some inflammatory hyperplastic lesions in the cervical spine area, which will form a buildup of metabolites when they are cooled and strained, which will stimulate the sympathetic nerves and cause sympathetic nerve hyperactivity or inhibition, and it is possible to have chest tightness and panic attacks. Symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms such as weakness and sweating. It is best to go to the hospital for cardiac examination, such as electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, ambulatory electrocardiogram, blood test for cardiac enzymes, etc. Only after it is clear that there is no problem with the heart can we consider sympathetic cervical spondylosis to be the cause. At this time, you can let the cervical spine area fully relax, rest, warmth, hot compresses, and can go to the hospital’s acupuncture and massage department to give acupuncture and massage treatment to unblock the meridians, relax the muscles, improve blood circulation and promote recovery.
