Dizziness, nausea, cervical pain

Cervical spondylosis is becoming more and more common in modern society. This situation is related to people's long-term use of computers, especially the increased frequency of people using mobile phones. The time they spend bowing their heads is getting longer and longer, and the problems with the cervical spine are particularly serious. So many people suffer from dizziness, nausea and cervical pain. Why does cervical pain cause dizziness? Because cervical spondylosis can cause nerve compression, it needs to be improved and treated in a timely manner.

Can cervical spondylosis cause dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and palpitations?

The doctor said that cervical spondylosis does sometimes cause nausea and vomiting, especially if it is vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis or sympathetic nerve type cervical spondylosis. Both types of cervical spondylosis are prone to cause nausea and vomiting, because the former will cause the brain to compress the vertebral artery, constrict the cerebral blood vessels and spasm, leading to dizziness symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, and the latter will cause the dislocated cervical vertebra to compress the sympathetic nerves and cause autonomic nervous system disorders, leading to symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension in patients.

In addition to nausea and vomiting, vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis may also have these symptoms: dizziness, headache, fainting or eye symptoms such as fog, flashing lights in the eyes, dark spots, one-time black eye, temporary vision, decreased vision, diplopia, op, and severe blindness.

Sympathetic cervical spondylosis also has the following symptoms:

1. Head symptoms: headache or migraine, headache, dizziness, occipital pain, or neck pain; but these symptoms are not increased during head movement.

2. Facial symptoms: enlarged eyes, blurred vision, dilated pupils, swollen eyes, dry eyes, stars, etc.

3. Symptoms of heart disease: rapid heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, pain in the front area of ​​the heart, and increased blood pressure.

4. Peripheral vascular symptoms: Due to vascular spasm, the limbs are cold and cold, the local temperature is low, or the limbs may itch when cold, or redness and swelling may occur, and the pain may be aggravated. Numbness of the neck, face, and limbs may also be seen, but the pain is not distributed according to nerve segments.

5. Dyshidrosis: manifested by sweating. The phenomenon can be confined to one part of the body, the head, neck, hands, feet, limbs, or half of the body.

6. Others: cold and chilly body, but there may also be less sweat on one side of the body, numbness in the head and neck, face or body, etc.

People who work at a desk for a long time or whose head and neck are set to a certain direction are also prone to cervical spondylosis, for example, office clerk typists, transcriptionists, computer operators, accountants, embroidery factories, garment factory workers, operating room nurses, long-term microscope workers, traffic police, teachers, etc. Although the work intensity of these professional jobs is not high, due to improper working posture and long-term bowing of the head, the neck muscles and ligaments are strained (on the contrary, the intervertebral disc is larger under internal pressure), resulting in local tension or frequent side strain of the head and neck. Therefore, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is higher in these occupations.

The problem with cervical spondylosis is that you don't know whether your symptoms are stable or dangerous, and whether the harm is small or large. If you have cervical myelopathy, it can even lead to paralysis. If you're going to the hospital, you can't light the candle at both ends. How to determine the severity of cervical spondylosis? How to treat cervical spondylosis?

It should be made clear that cervical spondylosis has a gradual development process from mild to severe, which is understood from a developmental perspective, mainly involving different tissues at different times. The main contents are as follows:

1. Chronic neck pain.

If in patients with chronic neck pain, the main lesion is the muscle, because of muscle strain, muscle strength and endurance, the condition is mild and easy to treat, this period of time is the golden period for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, we can completely eliminate cervical spondylosis in the bud.

2. Spinal cervical spondylosis: If chronic neck pain is left untreated or not treated scientifically, the patient's disease will develop muscle weakness, ligament, bone and intervertebral disc degeneration, the patient will develop cervical instability, bone hyperplasia, dizziness and numbness of the upper limbs. During this time, take stock.
