What Could Be The Reason For Having Stabbing Chest Pain, Lump, Breathlessness And Blood In Mucus?

Hello Im a 26 man, I feel stabbing and constant chest pains on left side with a small lump. I sometimes feel breathlessness and have blood in mucus today.

I will take an X ray on Monday.

Could you pls let me know what's the problem according to your experience?
