Hi,two days ago I woke up with momentary loss of vision maybe for about five-seven seconds.Saturday night I was sitting down at a holiday dinner and had a sharp flash of pain in my head and noticed a lump that wasnt there earlier that day.since then Ive been in pain with a very bad headache and the lump has gotten bigger.its very painful to where when I walk I get pulsating pain in my head.Im wondering is this a chronic migraine? Should I see a doctor?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I would explain that the lump in your head could indicate an infection. It is not typical of migraine. For this reason, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical check up, a brain CT scan and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate). A brain MRI may be needed. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best,
