Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Flattening of one sided of chest wall is seen in
1. Lung conditions like fibrosis of lung, collapsed lung, maldevelopment of lung etc.
2. Maldevelopment of intercostal muscles and ribs.
3. Vertebral deformity etc.
So better to consult doctor and get chest x ray, x ray of lumbar spine and MRI spine if required.
These reports are needed to rule out above mentioned conditions.
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
