What Causes Bulging In The Chest While Breathing?

when ever i breath in by the middle of my chest bulge's as my chest expands. i haven't seen this with anyone else. i haven't felt any pain or anything yet , and i have this from my childhood. but what i noticed is can walk as fast as i can for long time with no breathing problems but i can't run like that because i feel stress in breathing through nose . Is there any problem with that ?

A bulge in your chest could be a congenital malformation which is not affecting your lung function. While running, one breathes through mouth and not nose, so don`t be worried. But if you feel, you are very breathless while running, you should get yourself checked for exercise induced asthma.
