Question: I have a "lump" in the middle of my neck at the back right where my skull meets the neck. I noticed it 5 weeks ago, it seems maybe a little bigger than it was about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I have episodes of feeling as though the room is moving, they usually last about 10 seconds or so. The "lump" doesnt hurt at all even when touched, but after touching it or area around it I get a headache. I have headaches every day now..some last a couple of hours and some seem like I wake with them and they last all day until I go to sleep and then I wake up at night and still have them. I wake up several times every night. I'm exhausted most of the time even if I've done nothing but lay around. When I first noticed this lump it was because I had a pressure/swollen feeling through my head/neck/face that felt like it spread all over my body, this lasted a day and a half..now sometimes I have episodes of this that last anywhere from a few mins to a few hours. I seem to be having "dumb minutes" as I call them. Like driving through an intersection and having to stop and think if that light was even green when I drove through, or logging info at work like I've done thousands of times but seem to write the wrong items in the columns or meaning to write arm and writing mar. I seem to get irritable easily, and when there's multiple sounds at the same time I get a feeling of needing to stop all the noise. I went to PCP and she said she couldnt feel anything and if it were worrisome she would be able to feel it. I think it's worrisome.i dont have any allergies.

Would you consider this serious then? I'm a little concerned it could be cancer? My mother's side of family has cancer history, stroke. My father's side has diabetes, heart disease. I have PCOS.

Could this be part of a Lupus flare? There is Lupus history in the family.
