There is a hard lump under the heart when pressing

If there is a hard lump below the chest, it may be due to indigestion or slow gastrointestinal motility; it may also be due to lipoma, swollen lymph nodes and other diseases. It is best to go to the hospital for a color ultrasound to clarify the symptoms and then treat them accordingly. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy foods, drink plenty of water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. If it is a subcutaneous lipoma, then surgical removal is required.

Here are some ways to relieve slow gastrointestinal motility:

1. Start with your daily routine. At least three meals a day should be eaten at regular times and in regular quantities. It is best to set a schedule for yourself and then strictly adhere to it. This will also affect sleep time, because some people who go to bed late and get up late eat breakfast and lunch together. This habit must be changed. It does not mean that eating a midnight snack can make up for it, because although the human biological clock can move forward and backward, it is always within a certain range and cannot make much difference. If you don't believe it, you can look up some information about the human body's biological clock.

2. Generally, people with poor gastric digestion function will feel full after eating a little, and will feel bloated if they eat a little more. Especially if they eat more at night, the bloating in the stomach will affect their sleep. Hard, fibrous things are difficult to digest. Therefore, it is recommended to eat small meals frequently. If it is not time for a main meal yet, you can supplement some food, but not too much. You must remember that this is not a main meal and you still have to eat your main meal as normal. The food should be soft and loose. It is not advisable to eat too much tough and refreshing food because these things are the most difficult to digest. It is best to drink soup before meals, as drinking it after meals will increase digestion difficulties. It is best not to eat two or three hours before going to bed, otherwise it will easily affect your sleep. If you feel hungry, drink more water.

3. People with stomach problems should quit smoking, drinking, coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks (soda), spicy and sour foods, and other irritating foods, as these are the most harmful to the stomach. The stomach likes dryness and hates coldness, so cold drinks and ice cream must be avoided. Hot food is better. This is a test for everyone, especially in the hot summer season. There are two kinds of drinks that you should drink more of, one is milk, the other is hot water. Milk can form a protective film for the stomach. It is best to drink a glass of milk first thing in the morning before eating. Drink more water, especially hot water, because in most cases people will mistake dehydration for hunger.

4. Although soy milk is good, it is cold in nature and cannot replace milk.

5. Steamed buns can nourish the stomach, so you might as well try them as your staple food.

6. Other vegetables and fruits are essential to the human body, so they should be consumed in sufficient quantities. But it is best to cook it softer before eating, so that it will feel better in the stomach. Vegetables and fruit peels contain a lot of fiber and can be eaten in moderation, but not too much as they are difficult to digest. Therefore, you can eat more fruits and vegetables.

7. People with stomach problems should not exercise after meals. It is best to take a rest and wait until the food in the stomach is almost digested before starting to work, or take a slow walk, which is also better for digestion. In short, it is not advisable to work after a meal.

8. In non-acute situations, taking medicine is not recommended, because long-term medication has side effects, and stomach disease is a chronic disease that cannot be cured in a short period of time. If necessary, it is recommended to see a Chinese medicine doctor. Chinese medicine prescriptions are particularly effective for nourishing the stomach.

9. Papaya is suitable for the stomach and can be used as a stomach-nourishing food. However, for people with high stomach acid, do not use too much. Also, you must remember that the stomach likes dryness and hates cold. In addition to ice foods, other cold foods such as mung bean paste should not be eaten too much.
