What are some other common health concerns for people with Scoliosis?

Hello, this is my 1st post.

In my case: stomach pushed flat causes GERD-that in turn caused scarring of esophagus, shortness of breath, pain waking me up at night, shortness of breath after eating a full meal, abnormal EKG reports because my deformed chest did not allow the EKG to read the heart easily--normal stress test.

All this is gone after my scoliosis surgery and I am pain free.

Me too, I also have mild asthma & even with my puffer I am always short of breath. As for sleep, Flexeril (20mg) took the muscle spasms away completely.
