He has Asthma and has often suffered from Reflux, Choking episodes and wheezing and breathlessness at times, these are all symptoms of Tof but as I understand it are some symptoms of Chiari.
Joe has had a rotation head movement since he was a baby which was thought to be 'Tics' which is why he was MRI'd in the first place, if anyone has similar symptoms or storeys I would love to hear from you.
