Look up IIH and POTS. Read through descriptions. Good clue is if symptoms are worse after laying down for awhile.

Then schedule appointment with a neurologist or neuro-ophthalmologist or both. The real test is a spinal tap to measure pressure. They will also drain off fluid if high. I felt 10x better when they did that.

Medication is usually Diamox, lasix, topomax.

It can cause swelling in back of eyes, so sometimes eye doctors will notice first. But not always.
