The dead hole of high blood pressure turned out to be cervical spondylosis------

Many people think that although cervical spondylosis is difficult to treat and painful, it does not cause death and is not a fatal disease. In fact, this view is wrong.

Cervical spondylosis can cause cervical heart syndrome: manifested as precordial pain, chest tightness, arrhythmia (such as premature beats, etc.) and ST-segment changes on electrocardiogram, which is easily misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease.

Needless medication to damage one's heart and blood vessels. More severely, cervical spondylosis can cause blood pressure to rise or fall in patients, of which blood pressure is the most elevated, which is called "cervical hypertension".

Since cervical spondylosis and hypertension are common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, they often coexist.

How many patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases die and become disabled due to cerebral hemorrhage caused by hypertension, only know the harm of hypertension, but do not know the root of the disease, and how many patients do not realize that they died of cervical spondylosis, not hypertension.

There are three types of people who are susceptible to cervical spondylosis:

1. Buttocks sticking to chairs: office white-collar workers, computer workers, accountants, writers and other long-term desk workers;

2. Occupational disease hazards: teachers, drivers, assembly line workers, etc. maintain a posture for more than 5 hours a day and are inactive for half a day, which is easy to produce bone hyperplasia.

3. People are sick of old age: 40 and 50-year-old middle-aged and elderly people, for some reason, cervical spondylosis comes, the reason is that after years of accumulated work, coupled with less exercise, natural physiological aging of osteogenesis, and muscle strain.

Cervical spondylosis is not only harmful to the cervical spine:

1. Dysphagia: There is a feeling of obstruction when swallowing, a foreign body sensation in the esophagus, and a few people have nausea, vomiting, hoarseness, dry cough, chest tightness and other symptoms.

2. Visual impairment: manifested as decreased vision, eye swelling and pain, photophobia, tearing, pupil size, and even visual field narrowing and sharp vision reduction, and individual patients can also be blind.

3. Cervical heart syndrome: manifested as precordial pain, chest tightness, arrhythmia (such as premature beats, etc.) and ST segment changes on electrocardiogram, which is easy to be misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease.

4. Hypertensive cervical spondylosis: It can cause blood pressure to rise or decrease, of which blood pressure is mostly raised, which is called "cervical hypertension". Since cervical spondylosis and hypertension are common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, they often coexist.

5. Chest pain: manifested as intractable unilateral pectoralis major muscle and breast pain with slow onset, and pectoralis major muscle tenderness during examination.

6. Paralysis of the lower limbs: the early manifestations are numbness, pain, and claudication of the lower limbs, and some patients feel like stepping on cotton when walking, and individual patients can also be accompanied by defecation and urination disorders, such as frequent urination, urgency, poor urination or incontinence.

7. Cataplexy: often when standing or walking, due to sudden head turning and loss of body support, can wake up quickly after falling to the ground, without consciousness disorder, and no sequelae.

There are seven common hazards of cervical spondylosis:

Cervical spondylosis hazard 1: sub-health, premature aging, emotional instability, and seriously affecting the quality of life and work.

Cervical spondylosis hazard 2: insidious onset, easy to be ignored in the early and middle stages, and there is a risk of paralysis in the late stage.

Cervical spondylosis is an important cause of blood pressure instability, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic ENT diseases.

Cervical spondylosis harm four: cause headache, dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, poor memory, slow reaction, etc.

Cervical spondylosis hazard 5: cause palpitation, chest tightness, shortness of breath, hiccups, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, etc.

Cervical spondylosis hazard 6: more than 90% have various symptoms of menopausal syndrome and autonomic nerve dysfunction.

Cervical spondylosis hazard 7: cause chronic stomach pain and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

There are 9 serious consequences of cervical spondylosis:

1. Stroke: More than 90% of stroke patients have cervical spondylosis, and many people still do not know the cause after stroke.

2. Insomnia, neurasthenia: 70% of people with such diseases are clinically observed to be caused by cervical spondylosis.

3. Sudden onset of vertigo: mainly caused by vertebral artery compression, sudden fainting often brings serious consequences.

4. Severe memory loss: It is caused by cervical compression of the vertebral artery, and it will be followed by cerebral infarction and even cerebral hemorrhage.

5. Neck stiffness and inability to rotate: the cause of cervical spine is vertebral degeneration, and ligament calcification will lead to limited neck movement.

6. Autonomic nerve dysfunction: caused by bone compression of the posterior wall of the esophagus or stimulation of the surrounding soft tissues.

7. Pain and weakness of the upper limbs: caused by intervertebral compression of nerve roots, which can affect both sides of the body at the same time, and develop rapidly.

8. High paraplegia: cervical hyperostosis, bone spurs compress the nerve roots and spinal cord of the neck, resulting in paralysis.

9. Deafness: caused by stimulation or compression of the sympathetic postganglionic fibers next to the cervical spine, often accompanied by blurred vision

Treatment

Next, please ask Dr. Liu Yan to take you to move your cervical spine~

Warm-up exercises: front, back, left, right ~ one more time ~

Look left and right: Turn your head 90 degrees to the left and stay for 3 seconds, then turn right again and stay for 3 seconds. Do two 8 beats.

Shake your head: Rotate 360 degrees 5 times, then reverse 5 times.

Head and hand confrontation: cross your hands and close to the back of your neck, press hard against your head and neck, and push your head and neck back to resist each other 5 times.

Look up at your palms: Raise your hands above your head, fingers crossed, palms up. Raise your head and look at the back of your hand. Hold for 5 seconds.

Stretch your neck and look back: Stretch your hands forward and fold your palms, try to stretch your neck forward to the maximum, do chest expansion exercises, look back at one side of your head, hold for two seconds, and change to the other side.

What do you think? Do you relax your neck and shoulders with some movement? It is recommended that patients with cervical and radiculopathy can do such exercises every day after work to protect your cervical spine.
