In addition, patients often complain of migraines, decreased vision, hypertension, or hypotension. The most dangerous result is the appearance of:
- Disc herniation;
- Spinal stroke;
- Vestibular trunk syndrome;
- Compression of the vertebral artery.
Only with timely treatment can the disease stop getting worse.
