Tube like structure beside left chest
I'm observing a tube like structure beside my left chest ribs, just beside the nipple starting from the middle of chest and it goes under the chest. I feel the tube like structure when even I touch with my fingers. I feel the same tube like structure is on my right chest too, but it's very small and doesn't feel much big. Is it something related to my heart or is it muscle fibre. It gives me un comfort sometimes.

Maybe physiological only.
If not causing problem then don’t worry.
Thanks

Hello Practo User,
As per your complaints,you will need to see a General Surgeon.
There could be a swelling associated with sweat gland or nipple.
