At 25, a lump in the hand has nothing to do with the heart. The commonest causes are a ganglion cyst near the wrist or a lipoma - soft, mobile, painless and harmless. Sometimes it is a swollen tendon sheath from repeated gripping or phone/mouse use. What matters is whether it is soft or hard, fixed or mobile, and growing or stable.
Next Steps
Get a simple soft-tissue ultrasound of the swelling - it settles the diagnosis in minutes. Rush in if it becomes hard, fixed, rapidly growing, red-hot or starts affecting grip. Send me the scan on a Practo consult or show it at Synergy Miraj and I will tell you if it needs removal or just observation.

Where exactly is the lump? An image would have helped. If it is at the back of the hand near the wrist, it could be ganglion cyst. If that is the case, nothing needs to be done if the cyst is small. It will sometimes resolve on its own.
Next Steps
Preferably get back with a picture. Would also like to know if it is painful or not.

Please show your hand and also what all you have done with your left hand in the last one week. And also mention if you have a cardiac problem earlier.
After that you will need a physical examination. Then you can get a logical answer to your question.

Hi..... It's not related to heart.
A lump in the left hand is most commonly a ganglion cyst, or
a lipoma, or
a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath.
If it's in arm pit , then need to consider lymph node enlargement
Most hand lumps are noncancerous, but they require a professional evaluation for an accurate diagnosis.
Next Steps
consult a general surgeon, get ultrasound soft tissue to know whether it's a cyst or lipoma or lymphnode
