Chiari and Respiratory Problems

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone .. I hope all you had a good Christmas. I need to ask you

guys a question. I was in the hospital with pneumonia the week before

Christmas. I have been having lots of trouble since then. I have had

shortness of breath for years now .. but nothing like this. I was sent to a

lung specialist and he did a lung CT and said the pneumonia was looking good.

I do have some scar tissue in both lungs, but he dose not seem to think this

is the cause of the problems that I am having. I can hardly breath. Have

any of you every heard of Chiari causing respiratory problems. I was

decompressed in May of 2000 .. but have not had a lot of relief from

symptoms. I go to see the neurosurgeon on the 11th but I am not sure I am

going to be able to make it till then breathing like this. Any ideas would

be appreciated.
