What did the doctor think it was by giving you the antacids? Did he say anything?
They should do further testing to find out what it could be. You can always get a second opinion. It could be a hernia? Here is a website where someone else had a lump and where they answered their question about it: I will say some prayers for you and your health. I will pray it will just dissapear. http://www.drdaveanddee.com/lump.html
Most doctors would be hard-pressed to diagnose a lump without having felt it. The first and most important step is to make sure and have a hands on exam by your physician. Suspicious lumps may require further tests and/or biopsy to determine the diagnosis or rule out malignancy.
The most commonly seen lumps are benign fatty growths (lipomas), and benign skin lumps (sebaceous cysts). A physician can diagnose these easily on physical examination. Lipomas and sebaceous cysts generally require no specific treatment unless they become troublesome because of their size or location. Sebaceous cysts sometimes become infected, and need to be drained, and subsequently removed. Generally speaking lipomas are soft, not hard and defined.
In the midline an abdominal wall hernia or diastasis is always a possibility. Occasionally a patient discovers a "lump" in the midline below the breast bone, which is a normal anatomic structure called the xiphoid process.

I not a medical expert babe but it sounds like you got the same as me. You dont say how old you are but suppose it could happen at any age. It sounds like hiatus hernia, which is a little tear in the muscle that goes across between your lungs and stomach. What happens it sometimes feels like it is swelling, especially when you have eaten a lot or exercised, or eaten something greasy or spicy. It is not dangerous but antacids will help it. Dont worry babe it not life threatening just a little uncomfortable.

it sounds like a hernia, and i know it can be painful did your doc not tell you to avoid spicy foods which can really aggravate it, if your still concerned i would see the doc again and tell him your still worried and that he needs to explain what it is.

Get back to the doctor, please get it seen to. If (s)he can't help, get a second opinion. I hope you feel better soon.
