What Causes Headaches, Nausea And Dizziness With A Lump On Neck?
Hi there, please help. My friend has noticed a large, olive sized bump on the right side of his neck. Also, he is experiencing mind splitting headaches, nausea, dizziness, and disorientation. The lump has just appeared overnight and he is on his second day, with problems growing worse. How soon should I take him to a doctor, and what might it be?

Thank you for choosing HCM
It seems that you have a cyst. A cyst is a type of bump or an infected sweat pore. The sweat pore gets blocked and then causes the pain and the redness. There are also a few other causes which causes a similar problem:
Lipoma
Carbuncles
Bumps
Soft tissue injury
I think that you need to see a Surgeon to confirm the cause. Once confirmed, you need to get the surgery done to help get cured. All the best. Wish you good health.
Hope this helps you
