Found lump on head

Ive recently found a lump on my head its in towards the little dip at the back of my head on the left bone its quite big but i feel like it is bigger and is felt easier than the other . I can barely feel anything on the other side . Its hard and non moviable. Ive also had a headache and congestion for 10 - 11 months now aswell as blurred vison i went to my gp in november who referred me to an option who said i had kuscle weekness in ny eye i wear glasses and it helps the headaches but hasnt made them go away. Im getting concerned as when i close my eyes and stand feet together i sway alot. Can anyone help?

 

  • Hi Rachel_H. Welcome to the forum. Please note that I'm not a doctor.

    I noticed a bump on my wife's head about 2 years ago. We went to the doctor and she referred her for an X-Ray. The X-Ray came back ok - it was just a bony lump.  It wasn't until later that my wife recalled she'd previously (about a year or so earlier) received a hefty bash on the noggin int the same place as the lump from an open cupboard door.

    Headaches and congestion can be caused by sinus problems. I should know since I've suffered from them for over 40 years (and right now, as I type this). Sinus problems can also cause some vision problems, too. 

    I suggest you return to your GP and talk through all your symptoms. Say you're worried and ask what tests would be possible to set your mind at rest - but then PLEASE DON'T PANIC because suddenly you've been referred for the tests you've asked for (it does happen!). 

    I suggest you phone your GP surgery tomorrow to make an appointment. Put everything down in a short note so you don't forget anything.
