Hello
It seems from the history that you are having headache associated with transient loss of vision. These symptoms may not be related to sore lumps at the back of the head.
The transient loss of vision is because of transient ischemic attack. This requires further evaluation by doctor to look for the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
