random "buzzing" sensation in middle lower part of chest. felt like a cell phone vibrating inside of my chest. painless, minute. what could it be?

Question

Why would my left breast vibrate. Like a buzzing feeling . It does not hurt . I have had this feeling for about 1 and half weeks

Answer 1

Advice: I would recommend seeing your doctor for an EKG to see any abnormalities. This can also be GI related. As long as it doesn't cause you any discomfort or you are not experiencing in lightheadedness, nausea/vomiting, or shortness of breath, I do not believe this is anything to be concerned about.

Answer 2

Yes: Both pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) an pectus excavatum (funnel chest) can be corrected. Historically both were corrected by surgery but recently carinatum is treated where appropriate with a brace.

Answer 3

Yes: A severe pectus disorder with subsequent impaired breathing can be operatively repaired usually when pts are in late teens to mid 30s. A subsequent program of rehab is necessary to accustom the redesigned chest to operate properly.

Answer 4

Pectum chest contour: Pectum deformities can be minor and only have aesthetic concerns like a bulge or a concavity vs those with a significant functional element as well.The latter ones are corrected by essentially cutting out the depressed area in the pectum excavatum cases and expanding the chest. While the aesthetic cases can be dealt with by what i call camouflage procedures. Consult with your local plastic surgeon.

Answer 5

What's your deformit: It would be helpful to know what your deformity is. Were you born with it or acquired later in life? Do you have any heart/lung problems caused by the deformity or causing the deformity? How disfiguring and emotionally disturbing is it? These answers will help us guide you more precisely with what to do next.

Answer 6

Type of deformity: Chest deformity come in two types: excavatum and carinatum. Excavatum is also know as funnel chest and in depressed. Carinatm is a deformity where the breast bones protrudes. Excavatun can be fixed with minimally invasive techniques, nuss procedure. Carinatum can be fixed with external compression brace that can usually correct proiblem in 3 to 6 months.

Answer 7

Active to toleration: Not all rib bruises are the same. Pain and discomfort will dictate what you can and cannot do. Activities that cause deep breathing may be more bothersome early after rib bruising. Restrictive clothing will also cause discomfort. Use your pain as your guide and advance at a slow pace to your individual tolerance.

Answer 8

Difficulty breathing: Injured ribs can cause pain with chest expansion as the air-filled lungs and chest expand with each breadth. Treatment is usually supportive and activity is limited by tolerance to pain. Like mostfractures, ribs can take upwards of 6-8 weeks to heal.

Answer 10

Occasionally: The funnel chest deformity is usually sporatic in appearance. It may relate to respiratory difficulties in early childhood and disappear when these resolve. In some cases the condition is part of a connective tissue disorder like Marfan syndrome which has a genetic component.( and many other issues).

Answer 11

Sometimes: A dent in the chest is usually a sign of pectus excavatum. It ocurrs about 1:1000 live births. Mostly it is sporadic and sometimes associated with curvature of the spine or even repair of diaphragmatic hernia.
