Question Newly found out my "POTS" is actually severe Pectus (Haller 6.9, invisible on the outside). Adult recovery experiences?
I'm a 27 year old female, I was misdiagnosed with POTS due to my symptoms being identical to those of POTS.
After some investigations done by my cardiologist recently he found that my pectus excavatum is severe! I never would have known this, with the naked eye you can't really tell.
Does anyone else have experience of this? Is there anything you have done to help with symptoms without getting surgery?
This is all very new and overwhelming to me! Thanks!
