To anyone that may have answered my previous query regarding a possible tension headache, I've got something new to add to this. My headache is a light, tight headache around the base of my skull and neck - very good signs of tension, but I've now found a little firm lump on my neck - no bigger than a single shelled peanut - to the left side of my neck, about 1 and a half inches lower than the base of my skull. I've just noticed it, and, when I examined its size and consistency with my fingers, I noticed it does move, but only a little, and this little exercise triggered off my neck-headache slightly sorer . This was last night, and this morning, I still have the headache. Now I AM actually worried it may be something sinister, but without returning to my home town for another 2 weeks (I'm in England at the minute, my home's north Scotland) I'm wondering if waiting might be a bad idea. once again, any feedback is GREATLY appreciated, and thank you in advance.

It's probably a lymph node. If you have a mild virus, hence the headache, which caused your lypmph nodes to swell. Best to get it checked anyway. Definetly get seen if the headache is severe or you can't move your neck, or you get a fever.

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
The Lump is due to blockage of the meridian - it might be GB or UB.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

I would recommend having this evaluated before you go home. I think it would be a good idea to have the doctors at A & E (I'm not from that area of the world but have friends who are so am familiar with the term) evaluate this situation further to see what they think is going on.

A trip to the A&E won't hurt anyone if you really are worried! There's no point sitting around worrying you'll just give yourself more of a headache.
Good luck and get well soon.
