A "buggered chest", so nicknamed in my local health centre, after meningitis, when 10, pectus carinatum, and numerous epileptic seizures!

My sternum has broken, due to over 400 seizures, [probably broken every rib in my body over that period, since age of 14 "local chiropractor"?] but could this affect my lungs, where my rib cage structure is deflated on my right hand side, so less 'air' to my brain, I have always been a bad sleeper as long as I can remember, I'm now 68, so continuous breathing circa 75% of normal = continuous lack of sleep? Just a theory?
