I have a growing lump between my stomach and below my chest. It is not painful. However, my breathing is impaired by it after even short walks. Also, I find myself coughing quite often. I had a quadruple bypass over a year ago. In addition, the hospital I was recuperating in gave me two staf infections, which resulted in several weeks more in the hospital receiving antibiotic treatment and wound treatment for a leg they had to open up to remove the infected area. Right now I am very concerned about my breathing problem. Thank you
Therefore, there is a lump between your stomach and chest; it is not painful; it is enlarging; it causes breathing problem; it causes coughs; you have significant surgical/antibiotic history! Thanks for sharing all details with Chat Doctor! I think you got hernia-king of lesion could be hiatal hernia or epigastric hernia. It is not tumor or infection; some portions of your gut have entered into the chest cavity causing all symptoms; a simple chest x-ray /USG can confirm this!Therefore, please visit us with the reports ASAP; regards,
