I have left chest pain.
One of the ribs on the front side on the left side has a slight bend.
It has just begun to be seen.
I am asking because the condition is almost similar to the sunkan chest.
No other medical checkups have been done.
Pectus excavatum, a condition where the chest appears sunken or concave, is typically structural and may have both genetic and developmental factors. While Ayurveda primarily addresses functional imbalances in the body, supportive therapies may help improve respiratory health, posture, and muscle tone around the chest area, which can enhance overall quality of life. Pranayama (breathing exercises) and specific yoga asanas such as Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Matsyasana (Fish Pose), and Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) can aid in expanding the chest and strengthening the respiratory muscles. Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha and Bala may support muscular strength and endurance, while regular Abhyanga (oil massage) can improve circulation and support muscle tone.
To provide more guidance, could you share details about any symptoms you’re experiencing, such as shortness of breath or fatigue, and if you’ve had any previous imaging tests (like an X-ray or CT scan) or medical evaluations to assess the severity of your pectus excavatum? This information will help in suggesting a tailored approach.

Pectus excavatum, that's a tough one, huh? It's a structural issue relating to your sternum and ribs, so while Ayurveda shines in nurturing wellness through balance, it won't alter bone structure directly. But, there's still a role Ayurveda can play to support overall health and maybe even improve how you feel day-to-day.
First off, I would pay attention to prana. You know, that life force energy. Breathing exercises could provide some relief and help in opening the chest region. Pranayama like Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana can enhance lung capacity. Try to do these in morning, maybe 10-15 minutes? It might not change the depth of the sternum, but better oxygenation can uplift energy.
And then, there's digestion! A healthy Agni, or digestive fire, supports overall health. Maybe you can sip on warm, ginger tea or cumin-coriander-fennel tea to stoke that Agni gently. Keep meals light; favor warm, cooked foods, 'specially if kapha is dominant in your constitution.
Yoga, ahh, can't forget that! Postures like Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) or Matsyasana (Fish pose) could help maintain the flexibility and tone of tissues in the chest area. They might not fix the sternum, but could ease tension and promote better posture.
Keep track of how you feel, and don’t push it if something doesn’t sit right. Of course, pectus might need surgical intervention if it's severe or if docs say there's functional impairment. In such case, trust those experts. A human body's complex, juggling support from multiple angles can bring relief. Hope you find some of these suggestions helpful!
