    I think my son has Funnel Chest

    When DS breathes a deeper than usual hollow forms beneath his sternum. I mentioned it to my MCHN and she agreed but said she doesn't think it's serious as he has good colour and nothing was mentioned in his history. She said however i should mention it to my GP when I see him next.

    I'm not overly concerned except than after doing a bit of online research it seems that the condition does often get worse as they get older.

    Does anybody else have a child with this issue?
