What Causes Dizziness And Lump Behind Ear?
I have been feeling very dizzy for 2 days now, it started all of a sudden.. I checked my blood pressure and it was a little high, 133. I am a 30 year old female, approx 5 ft 2 inchs tall and weight 116 lbs. As a note I have a small bump behind the back of my right ear which I had A scan on 5 years ago and was told it was nothing to worry about, however I Feel this has got larger since the scan. I also have been very moody of late.

Hello
Dizziness may be due to many reasons like hypertension,cervical spondylosis,internal ear problem etc.
You may need clinical correlation and investigations.
It is most likely due to elevated blood pressure in your case.
It is generally a manageable condition.You may need few investigations like routine hemogram,cervical spine X-ray(AP/Lateral),random blood sugar,lipid profile,liver and renal function test, etc.
You may need few medicines after investigations.
Small bump behind right ear may be due to enlarged lymph node.It need clinical examination and investigations.
It is a common site of lymph node enlargement.It may be due to neck,scalp or throat infection.
Generally it resolves with treatment of underlying cause.Generally it is not a serious problem.
Ultrasound can be done if needed.
Get well soon.
