Just leaned against my bannister, and felt pain at top rim of my navel, feels like a small lump, and when pressed, it hurts, Im a 57yr. old male, overweight, (belly), otherwise in good shape. Today is the only time noticed, any ideas /suggestions ? Would really be  appreciated !
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Obesity & that you noticed it on leaning, in navel area, all are suggestive of an umbilical/epigastric hernia. Is there any impulse in the swelling on coughing? If yes, hernia. Do you have chronic cough or constipation or straining at urination or heavy weight lifting? As these predispose to hernia due to increased intra-abdominal pressure. Usually the defect is palpable (felt with fingers). Ultrasound can be done to confirm diagnosis in case of any doubt. Many such patients are operated in my hospital for hernia repair with mesh placement. Hope this helps. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
