The most serious consequence of cervical spondylosis

In today's competitive and stressful era, cervical spondylosis is no longer exclusive to the elderly. More and more young people are suffering from cervical spondylosis, even students in school. In addition to the objective environmental impact, it is mainly related to people's living habits. Sleeping on a soft bed, playing with mobile phones and computers for a long time, driving for a long time, etc., the neck cannot get a good rest, so naturally you will suffer from cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis cannot be ignored. Let's take a look at the most serious consequences of cervical spondylosis:

The harm of cervical spondylosis is not only in the cervical spine:

1. Swallowing disorder: There is a feeling of obstruction when swallowing and a foreign body sensation in the esophagus. A few people have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hoarseness, dry cough, and chest tightness.

2 Visual impairment: manifested as decreased vision, eye pain, photophobia, tearing, unequal pupil sizes, and even narrowing of the visual field and sharp decrease in vision. Some patients may even go blind.

3. Cervical heart syndrome: manifested by precordial pain, chest tightness, arrhythmia (such as premature beats) and ST segment changes on the electrocardiogram, which can be easily misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease.

4 Hypertension cervical spondylosis: It can cause high or low blood pressure, among which high blood pressure is more common, which is called "cervical hypertension". Since cervical spondylosis and hypertension are both common diseases among middle-aged and elderly people, the two often coexist.

5. Chest pain: manifested as slow-onset, persistent unilateral pectoralis major and breast pain, with pectoralis major tenderness during examination.

6 Paralysis of the lower limbs: Early symptoms include numbness, pain, and lameness of the lower limbs. Some patients feel like they are walking on cotton when walking. Some patients may also have bowel and urination disorders, such as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, or incontinence.

7 Cataplexy: Often when standing or walking, the person suddenly turns his head and loses support, causing him to collapse. He can wake up quickly after falling to the ground, without any disturbance of consciousness or sequelae.

There are seven common hazards of cervical spondylosis:

The hazards of cervical spondylosis: sub-health, premature aging, emotional instability, and serious impact on the quality of life and work.

The second hazard of cervical spondylosis: It has insidious attacks and is easily ignored in the early and middle stages, but may cause paralysis in the late stages.

The third harm of cervical spondylosis: It is an important cause of unstable blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic ENT diseases.

The fourth harm of cervical spondylosis: causing headache, dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, poor memory, slow reaction, etc.

The fifth harm of cervical spondylosis: causing palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, hiccups, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, etc.

The sixth harm of cervical spondylosis: more than 90% have various symptoms of menopausal syndrome and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

The seventh harm of cervical spondylosis: causing chronic stomach pain and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Cervical spondylosis has 9 serious consequences:

1. Stroke: More than 90% of stroke patients have cervical spondylosis, and many people are still unclear about the cause after a stroke.

2. Insomnia and neurasthenia: Clinical observation shows that 70% of people with this type of symptoms are caused by cervical spondylosis.

3. Sudden onset of vertigo: It is mainly caused by compression of the vertebral artery. Sudden fainting often brings serious consequences.

4. Severe memory loss: This is caused by compression of the vertebral artery by the cervical spine, which may lead to cerebral infarction or even cerebral hemorrhage in severe cases.

5. Neck is stiff and cannot turn: Cervical spondylosis is caused by vertebral degeneration and ligament calcification, which can lead to limited neck movement.

6. Autonomic dysfunction: caused by the anterior vertebral bone compressing the posterior wall of the esophagus or stimulating the surrounding soft tissue.

7. Pain and weakness in the upper limbs: caused by compression of the nerve roots between the vertebrae, it can affect both sides of the body at the same time and develop rapidly.

8. High paraplegia: Cervical vertebrae bone hyperplasia and bone spurs compress the cervical nerve roots and spinal cord, leading to paralysis.

9. Deafness: caused by stimulation or compression of the postganglionic sympathetic fibers near the cervical spine, often accompanied by blurred vision, etc.
