A member asked:
My chest wall has just recently become protruding toward the upper part of my sternum, it feels hard & i know its not my shoulder bones. any ideas?

May be normal: There is a natural bump about 3 finger breaths below the thoracic inlet ( the notch at the top of the chest below your adam's apple). This is entirely normal and may feel more prominent to you if you haven't noticed it before.
