Eye pain and vision loss

Ki

Hi all,

I have IIH (idiopathic intercranial hypertension, aka pseudo tumor cerebri) which causes increased spinal pressure in the brain and the eyes. I’m on medicine for it and have been seeing a neurologist for years. Anyways, last night I went to sleep with a headache and I thought it was a sinus infection. It still hurts 12 hours later. But I woke up with part of my vision in my left eye missing. My vision is significantly worse and more blurry than usual. I’m debating on going to the ER. My condition can get bad and cause a stroke and permanent vision loss. I’m really nervous about it but I’m not in intense pain. What should I do?
