My girlfriend has eben having more
frequent problems with chest pains. Since
I have known her, her breast bone is
angled as much as 15 degrees towards her
right (her left side sticks out and her
right side is a bit sunken). She is a
smoker trying to quit, and for some reason
seems to be coughing alot as a result.
The coughing is causing sharp, continuous
pains in her chest and I think it has
something to do with her poorly angles
sternum. My questions follow:
1. Is the nuss treatment the only way to
fix this problem?
2. What further problems can this
cause?
3. What can be done to ease the sharp
pains?
Thanks to any who can offer advice! The
doctor she spoke to gave her an answer
that has her accepting her fate. I hope
someone can shed some serious light on
what seems a serious issue. Thanks again
