Yes, hello. My daughter is 15 and has Chiari malformation. she recently started with chest heaviness and discomfort. she says it is not pain but discomfort feeling. The Dr doesnt seem concerned however I am very concerned and I notice her abilitly to focus is not the same as a month ago. She has a vp shunt and an Lp shunt and has had 14 operations since may 25-11 I feel we are still at square one and she is still having problems. Any suggestions/ Is the heaviness soemthing to be concerned with? I brought her to her pedtician yesterday to have her heart checked but didnt suspect anything but that was not her Neurosurgeon.
Thank you for writing me, actually chest heaviness is due to neurogenic, and it will resolve when her neurogenic problem will resolve, but from my side take a chest X-ray PA so that chest is clear or not should be clear. Another thing that, she will be on multiple medication it will surely cause HERD that may cause chest discomfort so use anti acid like spy deficient 10 ml TDS, cap Gomez D OD, it will surely help you
