What Causes Swelling, Pain And Pressure Sensation Under Left Chest?

Hello I am a male 24 years old. I have a swelling under my left chest which is soft and doesn't hurt at touch.I don't have a fever,just a pain and pressure sensation which happens just few times a day and usually last only for few minutes or even seconds.I noticed the swelling 3-4 days ago.I also started some training for abdominal muscels recently,so I am not sure if it has to do something with the exercise.Thank you for your help

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you have recently started exercise for abdominal muscles, this left chest swelling is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid exercise for few days.
Take anti inflammatory drugs.
Avoid movements like bending forward.
Do all these for 4-5 days. You will mostly improve. If not improving then get done chest x ray and ultrasound examination of local part to rule identify the cause for this.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
