Q: hard lumps on back of head and neck

I did not notice this before tonight. on the lower back part of my head I have a decent sized lump. (about the size of the end of your pinky) It is hard and does not move. It is a little tender to the touch. I also just noticed another one about an inch or so lower (more on my neck). Again it does not moveand is little tender.
I have not hit my head.
I have been having sever problems with focus and memory. I am always in like a fog and no matter how hard I try, I cannot focus long enough to add up 6 numbers on a calculator. That has been going on for a few months now. I keep meaning to see the doctor about that. My mother thinks it is ADD. About 6 months ago I was suffering from severe persistent headaches. We never figured out what they were...but since then I get them less frequently. The doctors did many tests, but everything said I was normal...except my head hurt. I have trouble sleeping and when I wake I do not feel rested at all.
The last part probably has nothing to do with the lumps, but I thought I would give all my ailments in hopes for some sort of answer.
Should I be worried?
Oh and I am a 23 year old female. Perfect weight for my height. No other health problems as far as I know.

Are this bumps located in same line, one under other?
Do they still feel tender on touch?
Are you experiencing severe fatigue?
Do you sore throat or fever?

yes
Yes I am very tired, Yes they are tender, Yes I have two lumps one about an inch or two directly under the other. I no longer have a sore throat. I did have strep throat about two to three weeks ago. I took antibiotics for it.
