A member asked:

After coughing a lot and clearing my throat, i now have a bulge at the suprasternal notch when i cough or laugh. is this a hernia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like it.: Consult with a surgeon, who can usually tell on physical exam whether or not you have an epigastric hernia. Sometimes, this could be a diastasis, or separation, between your rectus muscles.
