The stimulation and compression of cervical spine on cervical dorsal nerve roots will cause heart pain, which is often manifested as acupuncture-like stabbing pain or swelling pain in the precordial area; Chest tightness, shortness of breath and dizziness; Stinging in the chest and back; Be flustered and upset; Dizziness and fatigue. Although these symptoms are often misdiagnosed as angina pectoris or pleurisy, they are actually caused by cervical spondylosis.
2. Toothache may be related to cervical vertebra.
When the cervical nerve has pathological changes, it is often that several nerve roots have problems at the same time, and cervical spondylosis can also cause toothache. Once the cervical vertebra degenerates, the stimulation produced by sympathetic nerve compression will be transmitted to our alveoli through mandibular trigeminal nerve, and the symptoms of toothache will appear. Therefore, toothache may not be the cause of the tooth itself, but the problem of the cervical spine.
3. Cervical spondylosis can also cause hypertension.
The dysfunction of autonomic nervous system caused by the stimulation of sympathetic nerve around vertebral artery will lead to the increase or decrease of blood pressure, but the increase of blood pressure is more common. Different from patients with simple hypertension, this kind of cervical spondylosis is often accompanied by neck pain and numbness of upper limbs, and the effect of oral antihypertensive drugs is often unsatisfactory. So when your blood pressure rises and the above symptoms appear, you may wish to see if it is the cause of cervical vertebra.
4. Three steps to protect cervical health
The first step to protect cervical health is to refuse to be a low-headed family. When the body is upright, the average weight of the head of an average adult is 5 kg; But when playing mobile phones, the neck muscles have to bear several times the weight. If you keep this posture for a long time, the human body will coordinate the muscles of the shoulder and back and assist the muscles of the neck, which will lead to the feeling of pulling, stagnation and soreness in the shoulder and back and even the back, which may eventually cause long-term damage such as cervical spondylosis. Now everyone has several electronic products in their hands. Being a low-headed family is very harmful to the cervical spine. We must get rid of this bad habit in time. The second step is to protect the cervical spine and maintain a correct sleeping position. Almost one third of our life is spent in sleep. If the sleeping posture is incorrect, the long-term impact on the cervical spine is immeasurable. From the perspective of cervical health alone, supine can best maintain the natural curvature of cervical spine and protect cervical spine. It is also necessary to choose a pillow that suits you when you sleep. When lying on your back, the width of the pillow should be just from the head to the neck, not to the shoulders and the back of the head, otherwise it will change the curvature of the cervical spine and make the cervical muscles and ligaments in a state of tension. The third step to protect cervical health is proper hot compress. When the neck is sore, we can use hot towels, hot water bottles and so on. Do a hot compress on your neck. This way helps to relieve muscle tension and stiffness and protect our cervical spine.
