Hi I'm 20 years old and have had a chest bone that sticks out quite far, as well as my collar bones, since i was about 10. I've read a lot about Marfan's syndrome, but it seems pectus carinatum affects the lower part or the chest bone while mine is the higher? I do have some of the other symptom's such as I am very tall (6ft girl) and have long limbs and a thin frame. Could this be Marfan's Syndrome?
