Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Joint And Chest Pain, Painful Breath. Done Echo And EKG. What Is The Reason?
I'm 21 years old and in good physical condition. I'm an avid runner and I also do supplement free body building. With that said every now so often when I take a deep breath I feel and in a way hear a pop somewhere around my upper chest. It doesn't hurt or anything and it's almost like when a joint pops or something. I have had echo done and EKG and all came back good. What is this I may be experiencing?
Hello user I would like to ask you if that pop happens with every breath or one or two times in a day !!
If its happening with every breath, then it might be due to some mechanical issues with your rib joint.
If it happens a few times and there is no complains associated with it, then it might be just normal.You are advised to rather have a X-ray or CAT scan of your thorax region to check for any mechanical cause, otherwise you have a athletic body, which doesn't need much attention.
Hope my advise helped you. Regards Dr Hari Om Chandrakar MBBS
