Answers:
i think you probably should, as it can impair respiratory and cardiac function, so anything along those lines, you should really inform them, for your own safety more than anything else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Since you said you have all your PE credits, are you saying then that you aren't required to take PE anymore!? Has your doctor said that the pectu excavatum would cause major problems like in contact sports or anything like that!?
If there isn't a chance of injuring yourself there is no reason to tell the school!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In case you have a problem at school, they should probably know!. You may also want to keep an emergency card in your wallet explaining that and any other medical conditions just in case!. That's a good idea for everybody!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
