Hi, I'm new, my name is Christine and I'm 21, with 20 degree scoliosis, a "retarded" hip (thanks to my last job), a genetic anomaly where I was born with six vertebrae in my neck instead of seven and some rather..concerning problems just recently starting.
I know scoliosis causes problems breathing with the constriction and pressure on the ribcage, but lately I've been experiencing some kind of...palpitations of some sort with my heart. It comes and goes randomly, and can happen several times a day to once a week. I'll be sitting, laying down on my left side or standing doing something when all of a sudden I'll feel my heart beat slow WAY down for a few beats before speeding up like I had just gotten done with a marathon run, and I'll suddenly be out of breath, lightheaded, and on some occasions have gotten so dizzy that I thought i was going to pass out.
I should also mention I have anemia, my count is at...six or seven? I believe. I eat foods that are high in iron and carbs, cause I know if I don't eat I'll crash, but..my real question is, Is this normal for scoliosis? Does it cause such odd symptoms?
