How does osteochondrosis appear?
Main symptoms of osteochondrosis
- First, it’s worth knowing where exactly the source of the pain is. With thoracic osteochondrosis, the pain originates primarily in the chest. It can be sharp, as if squeezing from all sides. It is common to feel difficulty breathing, or even shortness of breath and coughing. Sometimes the pain radiates to the shoulder blade, where there is a dull ache. Unpleasant soreness that "rolls up" after physical exercise; this can also be felt when sitting in an uncomfortable position;
- Occasionally, osteochondrosis of the chest occurs in the form of numbness in the arms, legs, shoulders, and neck. Even in summer, limbs often freeze for no apparent reason;
- Headaches and dizziness occur periodically.

Why does osteochondrosis cause tachycardia and arrhythmia?
- Tachycardia with spinal problems is a common phenomenon. The beat count is approximately 90 beats per minute. This can be observed even in a state of complete rest, while in diseases of the cardiac system a rapid heartbeat occurs with increased physical activity;
- When a person assumes an uncomfortable position, the heartbeat may increase, especially when there is increased pressure on the spine;
- In patients with osteochondrosis, the tachycardia maintains a certain rhythm, and the interval between contractions does not change and is always the same;
- Once targeted treatment for osteochondrosis begins, the tachycardia will begin to disappear and the problem will resolve itself.
Osteochondrosis of the chest causes extrasystoles?
- The heart beats rapidly and the pulse is almost unreadable;
- Persistent tension in the muscles between the shoulder blades;
- A person often feels dizzy, weak, and dizzy;
- Frequently experience increased fever and sweating;
- Don’t let go of your inner discomfort;
- The increase in heart rate occurs cyclically, is erratic and works on the principle of waves - sometimes intensifying, sometimes almost disappearing;
- Extraventricular ejection of blood greater than normal - This indicator can be determined using a tonometer.
Consequences of high blood pressure
This provides the brain with proper nutrients but can lead to high blood pressure.
- Patients experience dizziness periodically, most commonly when overexerting;
- Often sleepy, due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, the body tries to "save" nutrients to maintain the normal work of important organs. The sleep state helps conserve energy;
- Ongoing weakness is also the result of the brain not getting enough oxygen.
- Disturbance, confusion;
- "Floaters" appear before the eyes - this symptom is often noticed by patients with hypertension, but they do not know that the cause of this pressure is most likely not a poor condition of blood vessels, but osteochondrosis;
- Every once in a while, all objects will start to appear ghosted;
- Vision loss often occurs for the same reason - lack of oxygen;
- hearing loss;
- When there is a severe lack of oxygen, fainting may occur - this is the body's protective response.
