What Is The Cause And Treatment For Lump In The Center Of Chest?
i have a ball shaped lump kinda just a little off center to my chest. It hurts sitting here. More so when i roll over while sleeping. When i grab around it, it doesnt hurt. When I touch the middle of it, it hurts. There is a noticeable bulge where it is.

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern!
In the present case of sternal swelling or lump, if I were your consulting physician, I would just say you, 'nothing to worry!'
As per your description, it is benign harmless lesion like skin tag or common papilloma / fibroepithelial polyp or could be some benign cystic lesion like sebaceous cyst!
It also could be some lipoma or neurofibroma-like benign tumors!
Take caution not to get injured there as this might invite infection.
Please do an FNAC test for confirmation or If you are still worried, please get examined by a surgeon or revert back to us.
Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.
Wishing you the best health!
