What Does A Lump On The Sternum Indicate?
My fiancee has been having chest pains. He has a lump in the middle by his sternum and when touched creates excruciating pain. The pain seems to go under the left side of his chest as well. It hurts when he coughs and takes deep breathes. He has been having this for about a week also he seems to be gassy. What could this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having infected sebaceous cyst giving this problem.
consult surgeon and get examined.
If cyst is there, might require excision of cyst with removal of sac.
Ok and take care.
