[mathews98]

I am sueffering with chest pain, because of that i consulted a doctor. he took the x-ray of chest and told that the size of the chest is small its like chicken-heart!!!!!!!! is there any treatment for this? is it necessory

There may be some instability of the bone structure such as the sternum, etc. I'm not sure of the meaning of poped up relating to the chest cavity.  

It is possible there was some structure injury from the dog event and the healing process is incomplete.  An x-ray should reveal the integrity of the area in question. let us know the outcome. Take care.

hey ok so when i was 8 a dog jumped on my chest and now the left side is bigger then the right like it poped up. Now im 14 and im having these breathing problems and when ever i bend my head down it hurts like an ache. Do you think i need that surgery thing to restructure my chest because its poping out alot. ?? I'm going to get a x-ray soon but still wanted to make sure.

Thanks,
Ramzy

I'm sure you misunderstood the comment.  There is a chest deformity marked by a projecting sternum, often occurring as a result of infantile rickets. Also called chicken breast. Medically termed Pectus carinatum, also called pigeon chest, is a deformity of the chest characterized by a protrusion of the sternum and ribs.  It can be surgically corrected.

If the chest is deformed (chicken breast), there is a possibility the organs in the chest cavity may be malformed...small heart?!!  If you have a small heart and it is not able to pump enough blood/oxygen, there would be shortness of breath, fatigue and possibly chest pain. Chest pain has many underlying causes.
