Intracranial Hypertension

Hey guys, I went on my pregnancy notes and saw there was an added section for referrals to my local hospital. In it was one titled "Z raised intercranial hypertension" dated after I'd had my bloods taken at my 8 week checkup. That appointment was 2 months ago, and I never had anybody call me up, nor did the midwife say a single thing about this. Now obviously I'm not looking for medical advice, I've already booked an appointment with the midwife in the morning. I'm just worried and so confused. I am not overweight, I don't suffer from headaches, my blood pressure came as normal, I'm not diabetic. I've had no issues that would even point me in that direction, also, why would no one have contacted me about this problem that can affect my baby? I've had a pretty normal healthy pregnancy so far, even had my 12 week scan which showed everything well (and they didn't say anything about that either). Anybody else know what it is, and what happened to you after finding out? Thanks

If you've never had intracranial hypertension/any neurology problems it probably just means someone's either got the wrong end of the stick or ticked the wrong box. It's not something a midwife could/would diagnose. Why not just call them and get it corrected?

I did call up, they just booked me in to talk with the midwife as I literally stated, they had me in an urgent next day appointment 😂 regardless, the appointment went fine. Turns out it was an error; the original midwife accidentally put it in under that category instead of the mental health one. An honest mistake, but one that kept me up all night terrified.
