What Cause Lump On The Breastbone After Recovering From Chest Infection?

Hi, I have noticed this evening it feels like there is a lump in my foodpipe some near my breastbone area. I work and attend university and have been very pressured, averaging 5 hours sleep a night and just recovering from a chest infection. This has never happened before, I am in my early forties.
