Chest pain and shortness of breath
Chest pain is a symptom that many people often experience, which can be caused by many reasons. The ribcage still needs to expand with the lungs every time you inhale and exhale, thanks to the soft and flexible cartilage. The rib cartilage that attaches the ribs to the sternum and the sternum to the collarbone makes it easier for the rib cage to move during breathing. So when you feel chest pain or shortness of breath, it may sound unrelated, but it is likely that your body is signaling osteoporosis.
This is the most visible complication of people with osteoporosis because the reduced bone density causes the spine to break, making the spine no longer strong and stable to support the body. The structure of the anterior part of the vertebrae is broken and collapsed to form a wedge due to the lack of a normal vertebra. As a result, of the curvature of the spine, kyphosis causes pressure on internal organs such as the lungs, intestines, and heart,... causing severe pain. The patient not only has difficulty walking, and often suffers from pain, but also causes anorexia, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.
