Hi all, I am on the hunt for some advice as I am not sure if what i am feeling is normal or not.

The other week I noticed I could feel a lump at the jugular notch on my neck.  This is the notch right where the sternum ends and the neck begins and its like a little v shape.  Right where the neck starts I can feel a lump, its maybe about 1.5 cm long and 0.5 thick.  It is painless.  I think it seems to be growing too.

My issue is when I google this - there doesnt seem to be any anatomy at that part of the body! No lymph node, no muscles, nothing really so I am stumped as to why there would be a lump there.  The only things that I have seen is it could be something from the Thymus - which is down in the sternum so unlikely or something is badly up with my throid....or this thing has always been there and only now have I noticed - so I was wondering can anyone else feel a lump in that area? 

The only other thing I feel is kinda a general pressure there especially if I put my head down.  I feel like I have something stuck in my throat in that area today.  Could that be because i have been pressing there a bit...though I have tried to avoid doing that too much for this kinda reason, it could maybe be because I have bad reflux and it is just a coincidence both in the same area?

Any help or advice welcome, I am reluctant to go to Drs as I am always so embaressed if it turns out its nothing (I had to last year with a lump in my abdomen - it was just a fatty lump but I felt so stupid when I was leaving!)
