Thank you for asking the question. In IIH the amount CSF is more in brain. This is a fluid generated daily up to 150 ml and it circulates into blood stream. Problem arises when this fluid doesn't get into the blood and keep putting pressure on brain and adjacent nerves especially the optic nerve. This is controllable by reducing the amount of CSF in brain and periodic check up by neurologist.
you need to lose weight if you are overweight. take tab. lasix 40 mg daily. get MRV and see ur neurophysician at earliest. in long run u can get blindness
