i am havin the same problem everytime i take a deap breath my chest bone clicks and it hurts like crazy, i ask my friends and they say im not normal lol. but i dont want to go the doctors cos they all ways fob me off with other stuff.
hi - no I dont smoke and am not overweight, though if i was i guess that would most probably be why i'm having these clicking!! in answer to "painfully waiting" - when i went to the dr the 1st time it happend (i was about 13ish) he said i'd most prob grow out of it in 3 yrs - i'm 22 now and its getting worse - if i were you, have him get an xray. thank you for the comments, i'm going to make an app to see my dr, i'll let you know what he says! xxx
my son is 16 1/2 yrs old and he has a clicking sometimes in his chest around the wishbone area and he ask the doctor about it and said that it is like a cartlidge there and as he gets older it should quit doing that.... it kind of forms into a bone there.... maybe yours is the same way
i know this is an obvious question but do you smoke? sounds like an upper respiratory problem. are you overweight? i know sometimes people who are have that type of breathing. you can just hear it. i would think that whenever you go to a dr. that they'd note something since they always check breathing w. the stethascope. how about a recent cold/flu? although you did say you have been experiencing this for quite some time. im not sure but im confident someone out there can offer more.
