r/PectusExcavatum

22M Should I see a doctor about this? I’ve attached a video of my breathing.

I feel very insecure about my chest. I’m pretty sure this is Pectus? I don’t have a “hole” but my entire sternum feels pushed in and I have rib flare.

About half way through the video I breathe all the way out. My sternum sinks further into my chest.

Trapeze and acrobatics after nuss?

I had my surgery about 1.5 years ago. Back then I wasn't really into sports, so the question of it didn't really come up.

I started school this fall. We have acrobatics and trapeze as part of our weekly schedule. This Friday I fell on my back from a handstand, knocked all the air out of my lungs and caused a panic attack.

My teacher (wasn't aware of my surgery before this) brought up a question that i didn't know how to answer.

Is it ok for me to do acrobatics or trapeze while having the nuss bar in? Who should I even call to ask about this? I'm really bummed out about this whole situation.
