Does Hard Lump On Mastoid Bone Cause Headache?

I have been getting these headaches that seem to start as a head rush then the head pain starts and lasts for hours. I also noticed a small lump that is hard and doesn t move that is right below the mastoid bone of my right ear. Could the lump be causing these new type of headaches? I have been diagnosed with migraines but these headaches are not the same.

Not likely. This headache is probably caused by migraine and lump sounds like to be fibroma or swollen lymph node.
