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!
