hi
i dont know if any one can help but I've just been diagnosed today with this.
i went to the opticians after have visual disturbances and when I bend over I go dizzy.
they said I have papilledema and sent the hospital an urgent referral. I fainted and It was so scary. the paramedics took me by ambulance to the hospital and I had a cat scan and sent home . I returned in the morning and they said I have this.
I'm back in the morning for eye clinic and then later il be having mri and lumber puncture.
I have no idea how serious this is. i have no idea what to expect. I'm just terrified that I'm going to go blind or collapse again..
is anyone able to explain how serious this is or what to expect as the doctor was very vague. thankyou x
