See a doctor: You should have this mass examined by a physician. Although more than likely it is a benign mass, this can only be ascertained during a full physical examination.

Get examined: Any problem with breathing should be evaluated. History, especially of trauma, is important. Your medical conditions need to be noted and diagnostic imaging may be required.
