Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have got pigeon chest.This may be you were having vitamin deficiencies in the childhood. Now there is no remidy for it. But as you are likely to be vitamin D3 deficient. You can get your vitamin D3 tested. If it is low then you can take its supplements. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
