Question

I've been dealing with pectus excavatum and it's really draining I feel tired all the time and get sudden sharp pains in the middle of my chest. I also had pneumothorax a few years ago. Is there any way to improve this without surgery, maybe through specific exercises or other non-surgical options? I'm worried about how it's affecting my daily life.
