Evaluation needed: Pectus excavatum or sunken chest can be severe enough to interfere with exercise tolerance and breathing. Suggest you see a pulmonary specialist for evaluation and referral for corrective surgery if indicated. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Restricting chest: This condition can be associated with abnormalities of the heart and/or the lungs. The relationship of the heart or the vessels taking blood to and from the heart and lungs may be constricted by your indented chest wall. You need to see a doctor soon and have your situation fully evaluated. You are far too young to have problems exercising and breathing.

Pectus excavatum: Pectus excavatum can be surgically repaired, but surgery is usually reserved for people who have moderate to severe signs and symptoms. People who have mild signs and symptoms may be helped by physical therapy. Certain exercises can improve posture and increase the degree to which the chest can expand. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pectus-excavatum/basics/treatment/con-20028599
