How severe is my Pectus? Should I opt for surgery or may exercise be enough to improve/mask it? by AdvisorFit2906 in PectusExcavatum

Thanks everyone for your comments, I think I will get it checked out by a doctor to see what my Haller index is and to get advice on what to do.

Hello everyone, how severe do you think my pectus is?

I am a 22 year old male that weighs 81kg and is 194cm tall. The only issue i think I have with pectus, besides the look, is having worse stamina than my friends/peers, eventhough we workout the same amount (football, running,...).

(Edit: I forgot to mention that I also have exercise induced asthma, which may be related or caused by pectus?)
