Cause For Severe Abdomen Pain And Chest Pain?
I am 50 yrs old about a week ago I had severe pains in my abdomen and chest and struggled to breath ( I suffer from asthma) Ive since been sick a couple of times and the pain has never gone but reduced. The pain is now building back up again in my chest, but I have noticed a hard lump like area with a pea sized lump in the same place. This lump/harder area is just to the left of my sternum and the pain is getting very slowly worse. I recently had an x-ray and ecg for a slightly less pain about 6 weeks ago but everything was ok. Bit scared but don t want to waste time for Drs any ideas.

HI. Noted the history carefully.
This lump can be coming from the rib and needs investigations like FNAC ( fine needle aspiration cytology) and may be a CT scan to rule out any internal problem showing on the outside. X-ray may just give an ides and do not confirm or rule out many diseases.
