There are many possible diagnoses for a lump in the chest. It depends on the size, extent, pain involvement, consistency, movability and various other factors. Most common lumps are lymph node swellings or lipomas. Consult a physician for further investigation.

Question

I'm really worried because I'm having diarrhea after eating papaya on an empty stomach, and my stomach cramps are really bad. I took ornof, but it only seems to provide temporary relief. As soon as it wears off, the cramping and diarrhea come back. I have a history of IBS, so I'm really concerned. Could this be a reaction to the papaya, or something related to my IBS? What should I do next?

Question

I'm a bit puzzled about something my doctor mentioned during my check-up. They said I had a "soft abdomen." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about or follow up on?

Question

I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?
