Symptoms of cervical stomach syndrome
summary
In the outpatient department, we often encounter some patients with gastritis. They often complain of upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dry mouth, heartburn, pantothenic acid, constipation and other symptoms. They go to the hospital for examination and are diagnosed with chronic gastritis. But after a period of treatment, there was no effect. Again to the hospital for examination, the results showed that the patient suffered from cervical spondylosis at the same time, the active treatment of cervical spondylosis at the same time, the stomachache naturally disappeared. This kind of disease is called "neck stomach syndrome" in medicine. The stomach pain of this kind of patients is reflected from cervical spondylosis. Tell us about the symptoms of cervical stomach syndrome.
Symptoms of cervical stomach syndrome
The cervical spine is on the neck and the stomach is in the abdominal cavity. The two are far apart. How can they be related? In fact, when suffering from cervical spondylosis, the stimulation of cervical vertebra will damage the cervical sympathetic nerve, cause cervical sympathetic nerve hyperfunction, and transmit it to the cerebral cortex through the nervous system. At the same time, the reflex will lead to the enhancement of gastrointestinal sympathetic nerve function, making the pyloric sphincter over tense. For a long time, the pylorus sphincter is weak, myogenic dilation, bile reflux, damage to gastric mucosa and atrophy, resulting in a series of symptoms of chronic gastritis. Most of the patients had dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, lack of gastric juice, gastric distention, asthenic constipation, hypermetabolism, weight loss and other symptoms; When parasympathetic nerve tension increases, gastric secretion and peristalsis speed up. Patients often have hyperappetence, stomachache during fasting, increased gastric acid, metabolic decline and obesity. Chronic gastritis caused by cervical spondylosis can change with the aggravation or improvement of cervical spondylosis.
At present, the incidence rate of cervical spondylosis is very high. It can be divided into five types: nerve root type, spinal cord type, sympathetic type, vertebral artery type and mixed type. Among them, sympathetic nerve type and vertebral artery type are most closely related to gastric diseases. Sympathetic cervical spondylosis is easy to occur simultaneously with gastric ulcer, superficial gastritis, atrophic gastritis and other gastric diseases. This is due to cervical degenerative changes, gradually forming bone spurs, stimulating or damaging the sympathetic nerve, thus affecting the secretion and peristalsis of the stomach, causing stomach discomfort or suffering from various stomach diseases.
The majority of cervical spondylosis develops to a certain extent, accompanied by decreased blood supply of brain tissue, energy metabolism of brain cells will appear obstacles, cerebral vascular reflex spasm, intracranial pressure increases because of brain cell edema, patients will have headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and other intracranial hypertension symptoms. If the patient's headache, dizziness symptoms are not serious, or only for dizziness, nausea, vomiting, it is easy to be confused with the symptoms of stomach disease.
matters needing attention
Therefore, when you have the old problems of cervical spondylosis, and recently you have unexplained acid reflux stomachache, you have to think about whether you have "cervical gastric syndrome". The treatment of this kind of stomach disease and gallbladder disease must first alleviate the stimulation or injury of sympathetic nerve caused by cervical vertebra hyperplasia, such as the use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, massage, physiotherapy, etc. at the same time, with the treatment of stomach disease, the symptoms can be quickly controlled. However, in the future work and life, we must pay attention to moderate work and rest, strengthen neck health care.
