Just curious if any Shroomerites here have PE or any similair chest deformity?
Has it effected your life?
Are you comfortable with it?
How deep is your "dent"?
I have had it all my life but it got really bad when I hit puberty. My ribs are always sore, I have toruble breathing, and it drives my heart nuts sometimes!

I do, I was born with it and have studied several like me.. Also known as "pigeon chest(ed)"
It effects my rib cage but I have a substantially mild case compared to most..
My close friend had it and required surgery. One small accident could have punctured his heart with is pectoral bone.
My insurance company paid for me to get a custom chest brace when I was 12/13, but I didn't wear it. Uncomfortable as fuck, and i felt like forest gump.
We're mutiants.

I think that might be Pectus Cardinarium, I have a few friends who have it too. Seeing it makes me wanna try to push their dent back in really hard

I was about to get the nuss procedure also. Oh man does it sound unbarable! How long have you had the bar in? Has it helped re-shape your chest? I am kinda hopeless with this condition cause every insurance company we went to tried saying its cosmetic and not needed. Oh yeah, being sore 24/7, blacking out every time I stand up, or the heart palpitations are TOTALLY nothing to worry about. But oh well I might just have to find another way

I took my brace off after 3 days.. I've just accepted my body as it is..
Interesting that about the black outs when standing up.. I get serious head rushes she i stand up.. Hmmm..
I get heart palps often.. And I get weird air bubbles in my chest during respitory infections.
My chest has not changed.. I've lived with it and will die with it:)

The heart palps suck, you just have to sit there and basically.. not breathe. And I get that bubble feeling too, I just try to make my sternum crack when I have that feeling. But I too will just have to accept my body as it is! My girlfriend actually likes the dent so thats cool too!
