Yesterday night I started getting black spots in my vision, I assumed it was due to me being tired and I went to sleep. I’ve woken up today and I have a banging headache and it feels like pressure against my eyes. I keep getting black spots on and off and I have spent most of today sleeping but I am really struggling. For context, i have suspected IIH and I am on the waiting list for a lumbar puncture and have grade 2 papilledema. Last week I took my glasses off for a minute (I don’t usually take them off unless im going sleep in pitch black) and I noticed how blurry my vision is, I have bad eyesight but it definitely got worse and now with this headache I am really worried but I don’t want to go to hospital and waste time. Opinions?

Around 3 weeks ago my daughter had a routine opticians appointment which revealed swelling of her optic nerves. We since went hospital and had a MRI and multiple eye tests, we are now on waiting list for lumbar puncture. My daughter woke up today with a headache which she described as one she usually gets for a minute or so but usually goes away but she is saying it isn’t going away. She also mentioned that the corner of her vision is blurry in one eye. She is reluctant to go to a&e due to the wait times so I am wondering whether this is something to be concerned about

Thanks
