Hello,
Thank you for trusting hcm
Bow to the chest at very young age is unlikely to cause shortness of breath now.I recommend that you undergo chest x-ray and pulmonary function test (to assess lung function), evaluation to rule out anxiety disorder.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarifications
