[|Human|] Hi I am 19 years of age, I went to the doctors at 16 because my chest (sternum) goes in my body by an inch, he then said it was because I was growing, however it is still the same and looks very embarrassing, it is like I am Ill, please could you suggest something?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having funnel shaped chest. It is inward deviation of sternum bone. Most common cause for this is calcium and vitamin D 3 deficiencies. So first get done calcium and vitamin D 3 levels and if Deficiency than you may need supplements. If deformity is severe then surgical correction is also needed. But for this, you need to first consult orthopedic and spine surgeon. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
