Hello,Carol,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Actually I need exact reports of echo and x rays to guide you properly.you have rightly considered it serious.There are some tumors in heart which need urgent surgical removal.you have not mentioned whether mass is within the cavity or external to it.Excessive use of arm does not produce a tumor however it may lead to haematoma ,
if send me complete details i would be happy to guide you perfectly
My best wishes
