Heartache after three weeks of medication?

I'm not sure why but it's been two days since I started feeling this sharp chest pain as well as a limp arm. I don't usually get this so I was wondering if someone here has dealt with this before? Thank you in advance

it's been a week and i'm already sick and tired of it all. Managing the IIH itself was easier than this! i feel depressed, scared and just sick. My potassium levels went down really fast that i got sever abdominal pain for the last three days... it's just too much

In March I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity of a lifetime to become a teacher and finally settle in another country. It has been my biggest dream since I was very young and I truly struggled to convince my conservative family to let me go after my sole dream. I don't know if some of you might relate to this but I feel so lost after being diagnosed with IIH. I feel weak and unlucky. My visa appointment is supposed to be on May 5th... and if I were to be told ''this is how you'll feel between March and May" I would've never believed it. My body feels weird it's tingly, I can barely sleep comfortably despite taking my medicine and I'm more anxious than ever. Help me what should I do?

24 yo female here. I did an cerebral MRI scan last Thursday they found that my optic nerves are a bit dilated and that I have a granulation that's been pressing on my nerves. I was officially diagnosed with IIH after the MRI and other tests. I was watching videos about it on youtube and they made me realize that my symptoms do not match that diagnosis a 100 percent. I felt dizzy, anxious, and had minor headaches, but people say that it was severe for them. And the vision loss, it didn't occur to me... I already wear glasses so I didn't notice any deterioration. Now my neurologist prescribed diamox, vastarel and they feel stronger than what I have. As an overthinker this situation is keeping my mind worried... Am I being delusional?
