Lump in a vein? Maybe a blood vessel?

It feels like I have a thick vein going through my breast and I’m the middle of it, I feel a lump.

Does anyone have an experience like this?

    Not me, but since you're concerned about it you should ask your doctor.

    I think anything that's a thickening or lump or just new should be shown to your dr.

    I've not heard of anything like this. Breasts are mostly fat & connective tissue plus the glandular tissue. It could be a duct you're feeling but they're usually hard to palpate if you're not lactating.

    have you had a mammo recently? I think either way I'd want a dr to check it out
