since saturday (today mon) first day was severe heartburn with nausea and elephant on chest feeling. Sun started having pains at bottom of sternum at top of stomach. Today had pains at bottom of sternum, with high blood pressure newest reading being 163/116 81 heart rate and pressure like elephant on chest. Along with finding a lump at bottom of sternum right in the middle with little bit of pain and the lump doesn't move. No heartburn today though.

I have a hard, "jelly bean sized", firm, non-movable lump on left side of my sternum, right between my breasts. I've had no injury to the area, it is not discolored & have had this bump for a couple of years. During a mammogram a couple years ago, a "marker" was placed over this area, however the marker moves with my skin, and since the lump is fixed on my sternum, it doesn't show in a mammography.

I am so glad I found this website. I too noticed a lump on my lower sternum. Of course, I always think the worst of everything. Yes, I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder as well. It's something that I cannot get over on my own, even with the mild meds that my RNP put me on i July. I've always been this way but got worse when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma.

Hi, I have a hard, boney and painless lump on the left side of my sternum where the adjacent ribs connect.

I do have a lump in my sturnum, left side, it hurts when I push on it. I have a wicked pounding heartbeat, often uneven. I feel my heart beat in my whole body all the time.

Hello I'm 25 years old and I have a small pea sized movable lump to the left of my sternum. The lump is not visible I have to find it. It's been there for a while but I recently have been getting random sharp pains where the lump is. It is also painful when I move it around. My first thought was that it could be costochondritis because I do lift heavy at the gym but I'm not really sure. Any thoughts?

i really dont know what it is a lump the size of a silver dollar appeared right under the bra strap every time i look it up on the internet it shows hiatal hernia but it doesnt hurt per say but i have periods of feeling sick this occurs when i eat alot at one time and when i lay down to sleep i have made an appointment with the dr but its over a month away

But now I have a hard lump about the size of a large marble on my sternum. My primary care doctor has referred me to a general surgeon but I'm wondering if I should see my heart surgeon rather than a general surgeon. Could this be related to the heart surgery? Can you get lumps of scar tissue that cause chest pain 4 years after surgery? I'm scheduled to see the general surgeon on Thursday. Thanks!

Hi my name is Irma, I have a large lump under my sternum. its very painful, its hurts to bend forward, lay on my side and feels like its up against my rib cage.

I strained my abdomen and groin by doing too many sit ups last year. For various reasons, over exertion seemed like a good idea at the time. How wrong i was. It feels like there is a lump in my belly, below my sternum, this lump is tender to touch, and it gives me the sensation of a "hole" in my chest. There is also a "lump" in my groin, on both sides. Ive also been having warm sensations All over my body, from head to toe.

Hello and welcome to the Dogs Community! :-) I can't imagine any dog of that age that should have any kind of a hard lump on it's abdomen. If he were my dog, I would be concerned enough to ask my vet about it. Did the lump come up very suddenly? It may only be an insect bite and nothing to worry about. By the way, allergic reactions to such bites can be treated with benadryl (diphenhydramine ONLY - no decongestent included) at the rate of 1 mg per pound of the dog's weight.

If a woman finds a lump over her sternum, which is more of a indication of cancer, a fixed or movable lump

I recently found a small, pea sized knot below my sternum in between the top four abs, directly in the middle. It moves very little while running my finger over it, but pretty much stays stationary. It has not given me pain while sleeping or exercising. What may this be? It has concerned me a bit, but I thought maybe it was a muscle knotting up.

So when I felt where the pain was, I discoved a fairly large lump at the bottom of my sternum just off center. Kind of FREAKING out here. Do not have health insurance and do not want to go to the doc to hear him say it is nothing to worry about. Could it be an ulcer or something not so worrisome, or should I get it checked. Pain is still there hours into the day but it comes and goes as far as how strong it is. Anyone have any answers or suggestions?

Before I make an appointment with my Doctor, I seem to have formed a lump, or bulge, or whatever the correct term is. It seems to be in the void right at the base of the sternum, right in the centre. It doesn't feel painful to touch or prod, but I've noticed I feel bloated a lot more lately. I have no idea what is there? I assume the Liver lays across that area and the pancreas? I have no real symptoms, but it just annoys me knowing it's there.

my dr actually had me go for a breat ultrasound to make sure it wasnt a lump and it wasnt. it worries me cause i dont know what it is some say it culd be a bone spur since ive had my chest sawed open three times and its sore bad some and the sometimes i dont even notice it. i was wondering if i might have something else wrong or if it actually could be a bone spur. i feel good most of the time but i am a smoker and cancer does run in my family and i was worried it might be lung cancer.

I noticed a lump on my sternum 2 weeks ago. Was seen by emergency doctor, who said it could be a lipoma (benign) --then I went to my GYN who ordered a mammogram and a breast ultrasound. They didn't see anything on either. Then I went to a regular surgeon who indicated it was normal. He indicated if it grows to come back. Really? My primary said Xrays and CT scans won't show anything. And thought I should get it biopsied.

I have hard bone like lump at the sternum whrer the two bones meet, any ideas?

Well I have a lump just below my sternum and it has been there for almost 30 years. It is a lipoma (a fatty cyst). I seem to get them all over. If you lump were cancerous it would not be sitting there so benignly for 15 years.

I have had this lump on my sternum for a few months now. Its actually been there maybe longer than that. I didn't really pay attention to it. I knew I should have gotten it checked out but I guess I was to lazy... Well now it grown, it has gotten more puffed up and is painful when pressed. Before when I would press on it, it would not be painful. I am a bit worried and I realize I should go see a dermatologist.

I have tenderness in my sternum chest and under my armpit. Feel burning in my throat also feels like a lump stuck in there. Yellow diarrhea head ache.
