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.

Is aortic valve replacement with a tissue valve safe for someone over 70 my dad's doctor suggested it but I'm worried about risks at his age
The risk of experiencing complications is generally higher for older people and those in generally poor health. Possible problems include: Infection – there's a risk of wound infections, lung infections, bladder infections and heart valve infections (endocarditis). You may be given antibiotics to reduce this risk.

It's been a year since my aortic valve repair surgery, but the stitches are still swollen and my chest area hurts a lot. Could this be normal or is there something I should be worried about? I also had an aortic aneurysm in the ascending aorta could that be related to the ongoing pain and swelling? What can I do to ease the discomfort?
Persistent swelling and pain post-surgery may suggest sternal wire issues or inflammation—get evaluated by your surgeon.
