Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
That is not normal.The symptoms you present suggest something going wrong in the head that needs to be investigated and the lump on the head might just be a secondary location.I will rather suggest you get a head CT scan, see a Doctor for interpretation.This will reveal all you need to know about the nature of the lump and what is happening in your head.Your treatment however will depend on the exact cause of your symptoms.In the meantime, a steroidal antiinflammatory like dexamethasone for say 5 days may help to make you feel better.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
