Convinced I’m going to die from external occipital protuberance changing positions

Posted , 1 user is following.

So here it goes, basically when I was younger I slipped and smacked the back of my head off concrete. I was about 11 at the time. I’m now 23. Anyway I had concussion but never got it checked out as I was on holiday at the time. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and it sounds mad but my external occipital protuberance feels as if it’s moving places. Some times I’ll go to touch it and it’ll be quite prominent like it changing within 5 minutes, I can properly feel the ball of it sticking out solidly. Other times like today it feels like it goes inwards like it’s not a ball anymore it feels more of a flat surface, this is concerning me as I found a dent above my external occipital protuberance that wasn’t there before either. I went to my doc but they put it down to my psoriasis but im 100% that its not that at all as that area isnt infected by it and i can physically feel the change in my skull which has nothing to do with the skin. i prode it easily around 60/70 times a day. its easy to put it down to anxiety but when theres physical symptoms there such as vomiting, blacking out, dizziness, hearing cracking noises in my head, when i touch it i feel nausea. so you can see why i am concerned by this and my doc putting it down to a skin condition really makes it worse for me cause it makes me feel like that was my last option.
