There is a buzzing sound in my head

The crackling sound of electricity in the head is most likely caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain or cervical spondylosis. So today we will focus on introducing the relevant symptoms of cervical spondylosis to you, so that you can conduct self-examination in the future. This is because the prevalence of cervical spondylosis has shown an increasing trend, so we need to take preventive measures in our daily lives.

Simple movements to see if you have cervical spondylosis

When pain occurs in the cervical spine, we always worry whether we have cervical spondylosis, but we are not too sure. There is a very simple method, which is to compare some symptoms of cervical spondylosis. If about half of the corresponding symptoms appear, you should suspect that you may have cervical spondylosis, and you should go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible.

Some patients may ask: "Is there an easier way?"

There is a simple action that can teach you to quickly determine whether you have cervical spondylosis. That is to slowly rotate your head in various directions to see if you feel dizzy and accompanied by pain. If so, then there is a high possibility that you have cervical spondylosis.

Dizziness is one of the typical symptoms of cervical spondylosis

It is not difficult to understand that cervical spondylosis causes cervical pain and limited mobility, but many patients do not quite understand why it causes dizziness and even nausea.

In fact, dizziness is a very typical symptom of cervical spondylosis. The main manifestation is sudden dizziness or sudden dizziness when the head turns to a certain position. In severe cases, you may even feel dizzy and faint.

Causes of dizziness caused by cervical spondylosis

Because cervical spondylosis involves the neck muscles, it causes persistent spasm and contraction of the neck muscles, leading to muscle blood circulation disorders, which can release inflammatory pathogenic substances such as lactic acid, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and bradykinin, causing dizziness.

The lesions stimulate, compress or damage the first, second and third cervical nerves and cause headaches, especially in the occipital region. The pain may also radiate to the head through the reflex action of the trigeminal nucleus of the medulla oblongata or spinal cord.

Cervical spondylosis directly stimulates, compresses or pulls the headache-sensitive tissues in the head, causing dizziness.

The lesions can stimulate or compress the sympathetic plexus around the vertebral artery or other sympathetic nerves in the neck, causing vasodilation and contraction disorders in the vertebral-basilar artery system or intracranial and extracranial arteries and resulting in dizziness.

Patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis experience dizziness because the lesions directly affect the vertebral artery, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the vertebral-basilar artery system.
