What Causes Stunted Growth With Breathing Difficulty And Rib Cage Pain?
\ I am not growing I am 4.10 and I m the shortest in my grade (I am going to 8th grade). Also I have problems breathing, when I breath in hard through my mouth. My lungs don t fill up all the way and my epiglottis just closes. Also I feel pain in my lung right about where my ribs are. (For the growing thing I don t have my period yet )
Short height can be hereditary or genetic. You still have scope for increase in height since your menstrual cycles have not started yet. Pain in chest can be due to disorder of respiratory disease, muscular system etc. I suggest you to consult your pulmonologist for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
