I am 60 years of age and am in great health..exercise regularly, great shape weighing 130 pounds throughout the life cycle. However when I was 30 years of age I had a complete work up on my heart because of excessive tiredness. A team of doctors, full exrays, EKG test etc revealed that I may have a slight heart murmur or caused by pigeon chest. People still comment about my outstanding posture, not stooped nor do I have a pot belly. I have had a few doctors say also that I have an athletes heart. Am rarely sick and havent been to doctor in years. Dont drink or smoke and eat well.  I have a great cardio fitness and it takes a lot to get me out of breath. Need I be concerned about the pigeon chest or slight heart murmur in my senior years? Do I need to have it checked for the future?. Doctors reported thirty years ago that I would die with it and not of it. Thankyou.
Hello, No you need not worry at all about the region chest or murmur and as your doctor said it will go with you to your grave, but will never be the reason for it. Region chest is a deformity of rib cage where its maligned, but there is no problem with the heart. The murmur is because of physical change in orientation of heart valves, that's it ! . Here its physiological and no problem whatsoever in the structure or function of the heart . As you have described that you live a healthy lifestyle, do continue the same and your risk for heart event is similar to any person of your age and way of life. Hoping I could reassure you. Regards Chat Doctor.
