Do you have PH and spinal conditions?
Do you have PH along with spinal conditions like scoliosis or spina bifida? I am curious about that because a genetic disorder that is a rare disease called Currarino Syndrome runs in my mom’s side of the family. It is a genetic form of sacral agenesis meaning that I have an absent sacrum bone. This disorder also goes along with congenital heart disease and has an effect on the vascular system of the body which probably has contributed to my PH.
I know that things like scoliosis can also impact breathing and the ability to expand the lungs. I am curious about people that have PH along with other spinal conditions like scoliosis and spina bifida. Does this contribute to any of your PH symptoms. For me, the scoliosis has made it harder for my lungs to expand fully and therefore has effected my breathing.
