Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your report suggests age related mild osteoarthritis changes in both sternoclavicular joints with minimal marginal bone overgrowth.If you have pain due to this,you can go for physiotherapy.
Heart size is normal.
Thoracic aorta is midly elongated in size and calcified atherosclerosis is seen in the arch.These are age related changes and doesn't require any treatment.
Lungs are normal.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
