Does cervical hyperostosis and degeneration compress blood vessels
Cervical hyperostosis and degeneration may compress blood vessels, mainly seen in vertebral artery cervical spondylosis, due to the formation of vertebral artery compression due to bone hyperplasia, it can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, as well as chest tightness, palpitation, sweating and other symptoms, which need to be treated with surgery in time.
In addition, if the cervical spine bone hyperplasia and degeneration compresses the sympathetic nerves and vertebral arteries, it may also cause symptoms such as coldness, numbness, and pain in the limbs.
1. Vertebral artery cervical spondylosis: due to the compression of the vertebral artery formed by bone hyperplasia, it can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitation, sweating, tinnitus, migraine and other symptoms. If hyperostosis compresses the vertebral artery, surgery is needed to relieve the vertebral artery compression;
2. Sympathetic cervical spondylosis: due to the degeneration of intervertebral discs due to bone hyperplasia, it can stimulate the sympathetic nerves and cause related symptoms of the sympathetic nerves, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitation, sweating, dry mouth, frequent urination, urgency, etc. At this time, it can be treated by cervical traction, massage, acupuncture and other methods, or you can take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, methylcobalamin tablets and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions to improve symptoms;
3. Vertebral artery stenosis cervical spondylosis: if cervical vertebral hyperostosis leads to vertebral artery compression, resulting in vertebral artery stenosis, it can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, sweating, chest tightness, palpitation and other symptoms, and even cause syncope, which requires timely surgical treatment, such as vertebral endarterectomy;
4. Other types: If the cervical spine bone hyperplasia and degeneration compresses the spinal cord and vertebral body and causes compression, which can cause sensory impairment and movement disorders, it is recommended to carry out surgical treatment in time to remove the hyperplasia and bone and relieve the compression of the spinal cord and vertebral body.
