Is there anyone missing their Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) or partially missing one? What type of syptoms do you have because of this? I'm missing my IVC and have frequent chest pains when I'm working out, just wondering if this is the cause.
If you don't know what the IVC is, its the major vein the circulates the blood from your heart through your adominal area and lower pelvic area.

Note: I was born without one and just wondering if something like this can cause pain later in life. I'm 25 yrs old now.

I was rooting around for chest pain symptoms associated with IVC and I found this:
In this case it was discovered to be caused by IVC compression of the diaphragm.
Hope this helps.

Bloated and purple from the rib cage down from no way to return circulation.

How can you be, "missing" that?
It supplies your lower half with blood...
