- Osteochondrosis disease. If you complain to the doctor: "It gets dark in the eyes when I get up" - they recommend that you make an X-ray. In case of displacement of the vertebrae of the cervical spine, there is a slowdown in blood flow to the brain, which is the main cause of darkening in the eyes. For a more thorough examination, ultrasound dopplerography of the vessels of the neck and brain will also have to be performed. When the arteries are pinched in the spine, you will also say this phrase: “Making sharp movements, and also when I get up, it darkens in the eyes.” Having made an accurate diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe therapeutic gymnastics in combination with medical treatment.
