My son has had PE since birth and complains of back pain, fainting when standing, he had chest pain in the past. He was evaluated a couple of years ago and we are going for another check up soon-couple of days-and I am wondering if anyone here has had similar symptoms or what your symptoms were, if any. I don't know his haller index yet, and the last time we went we were kinda pushed off because he wasn't old enough-according to the surgeon-to be considered for surgery, he was 9 then. He does have displaced heart to left cavity and rotated sternum. His last ECHO results were normal, however they did the test while he was lying down and most PE patients have normal results in that position. Next time I am going to ask for it to be done in a sitting position. Looking at the chest his "dent" is 1.5 inches deep, roughly 3.8cm I think, measuring from nipple line. I'm pretty informed of the causes and possible damage it may cause in the future, but it's very hard to find symptoms that aren't generalized.

P.S. his PE is not associated with any other conditions, i.e. Rickets or Marfan's, & so on.
