What Causes Collar Bone Area Depression During Breathing?
when my son (2.5) breathes in his sleep through his nose....the area near throat...where collar bones meet goes inside with each breath...like as if he has hard time breathing...he was diagnosed with enlarged adenoids and surgery after he completes 3 yrs was recommended....are these two things connected or should i take him to the doctor for that breathing way?

Hi,
It seems that the enlarged adenoids are causing a partial obstruction of his airways. That is why he has to make extra effort to breath in. the extra effort is done by excessive contraction of respiratory muscles. This excessive contraction is making the depression. So the two subjects are related.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
