Can any doc explain why are my bones showing in my chest..am i too thin?

Might be nl checkBMI: It might mean that you are on the thin side, you could check a BMI, (body mass index). Normal is 20-25, if you are below that you could gain a few pounds. You might also have something known as pectus excavatum in which the chest bones curve inward, rather then outward. This condition would show your bones more readily
