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!

I'm a 23-year-old and have been dealing with a cough and haemoptysis for the last six years. They found a cavity in the right upper lobe of my lung, and the doctor said it's not repairable and recommended I see a specialist in CTVS. Could you help me understand what this means and what I should expect? I'm feeling quite worried about the situation.
