Can doing poping in the chest is harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
“Popping” in the chest refers to the sternocostal and costochondral joints, which are part of the sternum bone, click or pop. It is only concerning if it is associated with pain or swelling. It is kind of like “cracking your knuckles”. If you do have pain or swelling, see your doctor. If this is not what you are referring to, please re-ask your question and let us know what you mean. Good luck!
