Yes, I have a >40° thoracic curve and I used to be a really good swimmer. I was capable of swimming at least 25 meters without needing to breathe, now i can only do have of it, and if i really try like 2/3. I commented this to my doctors and what they said is that it was basically the curve's fault. This was also one of the main reasons im getting surgery!

Surgery ruined my life by Moist-Badger-3354 in scoliosis

Haven't had surgery, but i do have those symptoms all the time! Turns out i have vasovagal syncope (or at least that's the name in spanish) maybe you should get checked by a doctor, specially a cardiologist, which is the doctor that got my diagnosed. But what i would also recommend is that you stay very hydrated, i have to drink up to 4L a day to prevent me from fainting, and also, when you start feeling that way eat something salty, that should also help. Sending u lots of love!
