    With more and more progression of scoliosis curves comes the problem of lung compromise. With 95 degree high thoracic curve and severe rotation, , I have severe restrictive breathing lung disease with lung volumes that are around 30% and diminishing. It is necessary for me to use a Bi-Pap machine for me to sleep as I continually wake up due to low oxygen and high CO2. I have to watch for the development of pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure all caused by the lung compression due to severe scoliosis. I have been told by my doctor that I will eventually die from these conditions. So, the progression of scoliosis is something that has to be taken very, very seriously.
