Do I have Pectus excavatum? Please Help!?

You do have pectus excavatum and it can be corrected surgically with really good results using the Nuss procedure. Usually it gets worse as kids grow up. I would go to a pediatric surgeon and have him evaluate you and have him tell you what he/she thinks. If you aren't having any symptoms and it dosent bother you then you likely wont need surgery if you don't want to but it's a good idea to have a specialist at least evaluate you.
