Default Shunts and altitude
I have a shunt placed two months ago. Now I have chest pain, the end of the tube was put in my chest area. A dr. told me that some of his patients couldn't live at certain altitudes because of inside and outside of the head pressures, has anyone ever heard of that and what is your experience?????
Thanks
Matt
