What Causes Upper Abdominal Bloating Below The Sternum?

Stomach been feeling funny since Sunday night after dinner maybe ate too much. Noticed it s still bothering me through today especially after I eat. Now there s a noticeable small bulge below the sternum and if I press down a little I can feel it s kind of firm. Never noticed that before but it feels like indigestion? I ve had a colonoscopy in the past year and a half with no polyps. Any suggestions?
