Many people do not prefer surgery, as it is extremely invasive and very painful. Some options that can be considered are bracing, where you apply pressure to your flaring ribs for an extended period of time and it forces your sternum out and the flaring ribs back in. LaceIT's PE brace has received very good reviews.

Can pectoris excavatum put preccure on internal organs?

Yes, pectus excavatum, a condition where the chest wall sinks inward, can sometimes put pressure on internal organs like the heart and lungs. It can potentially lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and reduced exercise tolerance.

If your shoulders are hunched forward then you need to relax your shoulders and position them in a down and back position. Strengthening your rear delt will help keep your shoulders back and correct your poster issues.
