hi i am 42 years old and i just recently notice a lump on the left side just a bit above the collar bone. i have been short of breath acspecialy with any walking i also find even my stomache feels as it is being crush and i am sure i can feel swelling everytime i touch it like there is a rock there or something hard. what could this be and is it all related or is it seperate problems. i also had a mini strike 7 weeks ago. thank you for your time
Hi dear, After careful consideration of your symptoms, in my opinion the lump above the left collar bone is a collection of enlarged lymph nodes, what we in medical jargon call Virchow nodes. They indicate pathology in stomach. Contact a general surgeon for biopsy of nodes and a gastroenterologist for endoscopy of stomach. Do it on priority basis.
