Hello,

It doesn't seem to be anything serious, considering the fact that there is no pain or inflammation. Anyway, I recommend performing a chest X-ray study, just to be sure that everything is OK.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
