Default va shunt 3 years

Hello All! I just found this site. I currently have a VA shunt (now for 3 yrs)
recently I have had chest "tightness" and extreme fatigue, some headaches that seem to be caused from either light or high pitch sounds. I have had multiple revisions in the past VP (several times) both the shunt itself and the distal end, the VA shunt was replaced on the top side 3 yrs. ago, due to a revision a month prior, that the shunt had been cracked while incision was closed. With the VA, I'm just not as familar w/ the symptoms as I was w/ the vp shunt. I've got an appt. in a couple of days w/ the NS, my vision has decreased and my gait/balance seem off. Got any suggestions?
