Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for posting your query on HCM. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that pain in chest and having gynecomastia are totally different terms . Gynecomastia is the term used for enlargement of breasts . The picture you have sent is of mild gynecomastia . For this you need hormonal evaluation , it can be sent in obese people also . Take care. Dr. Shruti

My last question is I have been on invega for seven years me and my primary doctor think the link with the gynecomastis is invega? is that true and can gynecomastia come from invega? I work out at less three time a week and have lost some weight but the rest of it wont come off I notice the chance when I was 21 and grew 30 or 40 pounds.

Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thanks for reverting back. Well your primary doctor is right in saying that invega may cause gynecomastia . It is seen that it is the result of result of elevated levels of prolactin which are caused by Invega . There is sufficient literature to support that finding . So if other causes are ruled out then this may be the reason in your case . Dr. Shruti
