Xiphoid Process

2021-01-21 02:47:33
I can feel some pea sized structure between chest area. Sometimes I feel chest pain as well. I went through the internet and found that it might be xiphoid process. What is the best way to diagnose the issue and what is the surgery cost in case I go for the removal?
