One rib cage is a different shape to the other

As you can see from the picture the right-hand side rid cage noticeably different shape to the other side, why is this and are they anything I can do about it?

Hi samc3456,

Sorry but we are unable to give specific medical advice. It is more than likely that this is just your own physiology, but if this issue is causing you any discomfort or if you continue to be concerned about it we would advise you to see your GP about it.

Hope this helps.

Regards

I wouldnt worry about it, it doesnt seem that bad. Its possible for the rib cage with the lungs, and heart breathing, to go in and out with breathing. It also depends on angle.
