Suggest Remedy For Painful Lump At The Back Of Head

Hi there, since I m currently waiting on my health card to be renewed I can t actually go see my doctor right now.There s always been a small lump on the back of my head (Where the skull meets the spine and it s never been a problem. However, only recently in the past few days it has grown in size and is incredibly uncomfortable. It s also quite painful. I m feeling quite dizzy and it feels like there s a lot of pressure in my ears. How worried should I be? I choose to assume it s a cyst but it d be good to know if I should see someone as soon as possible.
