Is it safe to crack nose and chest?
Patient: I can crack my nose where my nostrils are located and can also crack my sternum or chest. My nose is actually caving in at the nostrils more and more the older I get which is causing me to snore more at night and my chest is beginning to hurt every now and then as well. The chest cracks on it s own most of the time when I move a certain way...Is this safe or should I see someone about this? Doctor: Hi,  It is safe, there is nothing to worry about. It's completely normal, no need to see a doctor for this cracking sound.  Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
