Hello again,
This time I've got myself worked up about a raised area I've noticed on the left side of my chest, it's hard and runs flush to my collarbone on the left side of my chest. It doesn't seem to be there on the right side - it's not the raised pea-like balls near where the collarbone almost meet in the middle of my chest, it ends just before that.
It seems to flow down into my chest without a definitive edge - again this is one of those things that I don't know if it's always been like that or not - but I am questioning why I'm noticing it now which is making me think it's a new symptom of something scary.
Surely I'd have other symptoms if it was something awful? I know the human body isn't perfectly symmetrical but this raised area that runs from the end of the collarbone down into the sternum area on the left side just doesn't really seem to be there on the right.

I should add that there is no pain, it's not obstructing me or causing any problems moving, breathing, swallowing etc - it's just quite different from the right hand side.
I get a moment of pain in my chest when I sneeze too - much lower and more central in my sternum which I put down to costochondritis - I've had this for 3 or 4 years now and it hasn't bothered me. Just not sure if it's related.
