Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. According to your age, there must not be any cardiac anomalies. But we should also rule out, as sedentary lifestyle nowadays. Need for a proper description for swelling like size, when increase or decrease, soft, hard, pulsatile, any associated symptoms or not, pain, burning sensation, etc. As of now, with such brief history, we can suspect a muscular change such as increasing in size and giving rise to pain, for that symptomatic treatment to be given. The investigations to be done are chest X-ray and ultrasonography (USG) thorax. Treatment plan include tablet Buscopan 1-0-1 and as and when required for excessive pain. Volini gel for local application two times a day. Preventive measure is to avoid heavy weight lifting.
