nerve root compression at level C3/4

Hello, I ja e a question.  I have server nerve compression at level C 3/4.  I have read alot on the subject bit I'm so confused.  Can nerve compression st this level affect these areas.  Breathing, swallowing, body temp., blood pressure, hips, legs, ankles, and walking (gait), as well as vision?  I have read so much, but it confuses me.  Thanks, leosa.

Hey Leosa!

Breathing and swallowing may be affected mildly in C3/ C4 lesions and body temperature could secondary to associated inflammation; while blood pressure, hips, legs, ankles, and walking (gait), as well as vision are unlikely to be associated.
Hope this information is helpful.

Take care!
