hi,
lump when straining can be a herniation in abdomen..
there are a varieties of hernias(with history you provide it seems to be epigastric hernia)
hernias at this age dont cause any problem but for swelling..
they generally heal by themselves..nothing to worry..
if it causes pain then it is a concern...
i know you will have a lot of doubts,i would be happy to answer your queries..
note: a picture of the swelling will be a lot of help for me to understand condition..please upload if any
