I'm dealing with pectus excavatum and it's been really bothering me. It's not just that it's affecting how I look, but I'm also noticing it's impacting my muscle tone and I'm having some issues with my pulmonary function. I'm curious if there's a way to address this without going through surgery. Would love some advice on what might help!

Hey, I was diagnosed with mild mitral valve regurgitation prolapse back in 2010 and took medication for a couple of years. I had a follow-up in 2014 and was told everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about moving forward. Should I still be going for consultations, or is it fine if I don't? Just thinking about whether I need to keep up with any checks or if it's okay not to.

yes .cardiac opinion once a year.
