Trying to find info on outgrown(enlarged chests)and found no answers. any health risks, way to correct it?


Basically, I was sort of pudgey in my pre-teen years and started working out around age 15. As I was less and less chubby, I noticed that my chest bone stuck out more and more. I started doing some research over the internet and found ,really, no answers. Does anyone know of any places or sites where i can study more about it? Such as health risks/concerns and ways to correct it (estimates would be great). Regular doctors seem to know little of it and want to go off-topic when I bring it up. If anyone could help me that'd be greatly appreciated.

Guess theirs no reply button here..
Anyway, yeah it's definitly outgrown. The chest bone sticks out and when I press my hand or finger on my chest, It's almost like touching wood with wax paper around it, Kind of hard to explain but another friend of mine has it and refers to it as "pigeon chest" if it helps.

I have a buddy who had this. He ended up really bulked up and developed his pecs and you couldn't tell anymore. He never indicated that there was much of a problem, but you might want to ask your doctor to refer you to a specialist if you're really concerned about it.

I think it's just a natural way your body looks and you're self-conscious.

The common name is pigeon chest or pigeon breast. Not too rare. Check out this article below.
