Don't underestimate cervical spondylosis, it actually affects a vital organ

In recent years, the number of patients with cervical spondylosis has been increasing, and at the same time, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is showing a trend of becoming younger and younger. Experts point out that if cervical spondylosis is not treated in time, it may endanger other organs of the human body. So, what are the main hazards of cervical spondylosis?

The harm of cervical spondylosis

1. Difficulty swallowing

The upper end of the esophagus is adjacent to the sixth cervical vertebra. If the sixth cervical vertebra grows hyperplasia, it will compress and irritate the esophagus, and even cause inflammation and edema around the esophagus, thereby producing a foreign body sensation when eating.

2. Abdominal distension and constipation

Some patients with cervical spondylosis have their nearby cervical sympathetic nerves stimulated and damaged, and the sensations are transmitted to the brain, increasing the excitability of the relevant nerves and slowing down the gastrointestinal motility of the internal organs controlled by them, thus leading to abdominal distension and constipation.

3. Tachycardia

Cervical spondylosis causes heart discomfort, which is mainly caused by the stimulation of the fourth nerve root by cervical bone hyperplasia, which is related to the sudden change in the position of the neck.
