Why do I feel dizzy and nauseous due to cervical spondylosis?

When cervical spondylosis is more serious, it often leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, resulting in poor blood circulation. Due to lack of oxygen to the brain, patients will experience symptoms of dizziness and nausea, which is also a common symptom of cervical spondylosis. Patients should strengthen prevention and can use certain medications for treatment, such as taking some drugs that dilate blood vessels, which is beneficial to promote blood circulation and increase blood oxygen in the brain.

Why do I feel dizzy and nauseous due to cervical spondylosis?

1. Patients with cervical spondylosis sometimes suffer from dizziness due to cervical spondylosis. This is mainly because the lesions of cervical spondylosis involve the patient's neck muscles, causing long-term spasmodic contraction of the neck muscles, leading to muscle blood circulation disorders, and releasing pathogenic substances such as lactic acid, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and bradykinin, causing headaches. In addition, cervical spondylosis directly stimulates, compresses or pulls the headache-sensitive tissues in the head and causes headaches. 2. The lesions of cervical spondylosis patients can also cause stimulation to some of their nerves, which can also cause headaches. 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. 3. In addition, the cause of dizziness in patients with cervical spondylosis also includes the patient's cervical spondylosis lesions stimulating or compressing the sympathetic plexus around the patient's vertebral artery or other sympathetic nerves in the neck, causing vertebral-basilar artery system or intracranial and extracranial arterial diastole disorders and causing headaches. Patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis experience dizziness because the lesions directly affect the propeller artery, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the vertebral-basilar artery system.

Self-treatment methods for cervical spondylosis 1. Stretching method: Sit on a chair with your upper body upright and your hands naturally placed on your thighs (original state). Stretch the head forward and lower, return to the original position, then tilt it backward to the maximum extent, return to the original position and stretch to the left and right respectively. Each stretch should be held for 15-90 seconds. Completing all four positions counts as a set. Do 3-5 sets. Note: The movements should be gentle and slow, without excessive force, and the body should be stable. Don't swing left and right. Sit on a chair with your upper body upright and your hands naturally placed on your thighs (original state) 2. Rotation method: Sit on a chair with your upper body upright and your neck erect (original state). Slowly turn your head to the right, looking at the back of your right shoulder, breathe evenly, and slowly return to the original position. Hold for 15-90 seconds, switch to the other side, and repeat 3-5 times.
