What Causes Lump In Right Side Of Diaphragm And Difficulty Breathing?

Hi I have had a lump pop out under my right diaphragm 3 times in last 6 months. I had difficulty breathing the last time and my husband said I went purple. I can push the lump back in. I sometimes feel I need to do large yawns to fill my breath. Any ideas? Thanks Fionnuala

it is kind of epigastric or diaphragmatic hernia and cause difficulty in breathing when it compresses lung!

USG is recommended for confirmation and surgery is the treatment to avoid serious complications like severe pain, shock and hemorrhages!

get it investigated soon

all the best!
