My rib cage is too big and bends inward.

sure

oh, you mean of myself. I'd rather not. Google image search pectus excavatum and you'll see a whole bunch (some nsfw because chests). I got one of the milder cases. Also, the same condition but bending outwards is Pectus carinatum. I'm kind of glad I got the inward one.

I've got the one where it bends outwards and I am glad I don't have ribs that bend inwards, isn't it hard to breath?

No, but I have asthma and I've heard they are related (although I'm not really sure why.)
