What Causes Lump Behind Ear, Headache And High BP?

23 yo. Female. recently I went to the doctor for numbness in my left arm and some mild disorientation. Upon examination the doctor ordered blood tests and sent me home, but then called back and decided that I needed to go to the ER for an MRI on my brain. However, by the time I got to the ER my symptoms had subsided andthe ER doctor send me on my way. This then, I have had piercing pain and headaches behind my left eye and very high blood pressure. Today I noticed there is a lump about the size of a marble on the back of my skull behind my left ear. It is very hard/solid. Could this be a tumor?

I would advise you to get it clinically reassessed by your treating doctor along with the investigations advised, as it might not be possible to opine on this problem over the net without a personal physical examination of the lesion. However, from your history, I could suggest you not to delay your treatment.
