Just yesterday I realized I have a lump in the middle of my chest. Its right in between my breasts. It hurts when i press it and I even get pain in my back directly behind it sometimes. I did not have the lump before but that area did hurt starting last sunday and then I was even short of breath or whenever I would breath it would hurt, and the deeper I would breathe in the worse it hurt. Im not sure what is going on.
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Lump with pain radiating to the back and shortness of breath seems like an infective etiology (bacterial infection - Abscess, infective cyst).2. If you are mu patient I would have examined and ask for the ultrasound lump / lesion. (helps in assessing the nature of lesion, its source and extensions)3. After that depending on the nature - an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to evaluate the kind of cells (benign / malignant / infective)4. If infective a small incision and Chat Doctor. 5. If mass lesion - depending on extension removal will be planned. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
