Hi Katielou, I'm afraid I can't help much but I thought I'd post a short reply. I don't actually know very much about this kind of thing either but except to say that I know that some lung problems can cause some 'chest deformity' and this may be what your cons is picking up on you. If this is the case then it's probably a good thing that he's noticed and can investigate further if need be. I'm sure you have lots of questions about it so I'd suggest writing them down as they come to you and then taking them along next time you see your cons. Don't worry about time - he's there for you as much as for anyone else and right now you need what time he can give.

Take care and let us know how things go.

Becky.

Sean has this written on his notes somewhere , Rbh used to describe as marked harrisons sulci . I did ask years ago what it was and i think i was told that a hyper inflated chest is common in severe asthmatics or people who have a chronic respiritory problem. Sorry to sound so vague im sure someone else on the board could explain it much better than me
