Pectus excavatum

[SirFryanator]

If you know what it is...

I was recently reading about it, and I'm almost positive my lung capacity is decreased quite a bit from average, even with the exercises I've been doing.

Do you have it? If you do, what have you done about it? Mine is not very severe, but I'm wondering if surgery is worth it.

my brother has the exact opposite, basically what looks like a little mound right on his sternum

 

[SirFryanator]

For real? Has he seen a doctor?

and for anyone else...bump

 

[Dan.]

yeah, apparently its similar to a calcium deposit or a bone spur, nothing dangerous, just wierd looking.

i have this i think. are you saying you have a sternum hole? like a divet in your chest?

 

[SirFryanator]

sort of. I don't have a severe case, so it's more like the upper part of my chest is flat and it slopes outward...it's weird, I can't gain too much more muscle there no matter how regimented I am in my workouts.
