2. What are the symptoms of cervical spondylosis?

If you want to know what the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are, you should also look at your blood pressure, because patients with cervical spondylosis may suddenly raise or lower their blood pressure. Many middle-aged and elderly people need special attention, but don't worry about the coexistence of cervical spondylosis and hypertension.

In addition, Chinese medicine experts said that patients with cervical spondylosis have a sense of obstruction and esophageal foreign body sensation when swallowing, and a few have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hoarseness, dry cough and chest tightness. This is because the anterior bone of cervical vertebra directly compresses the posterior wall of esophagus, leading to esophageal stenosis, or the symptoms of cervical spondylosis can cause autonomic nervous dysfunction, leading to esophageal spasm or excessive relaxation.

If you are also a patient with cervical spondylosis, you should do more exercise and exercise the cervical vertebra, don't sit and work for a long time, and pay attention to diet and health care. Don't overwork your neck and go out regularly. Do you know all the symptoms of cervical spondylosis?
