Maybe papilledema? Help!
I had an eye exam a week ago She became worried when she saw that my nerves in my eyes were very swollen and that the pressure in my right eye was high. We ruled out calcium deposits and hypertention and now she is saying possibly papilledema. I have had headaches for two years now that aren't really headaches its more of a pressure on the right side of my head. They are terrible in the morning then go away slowly with in a few hours and mind you no headache medicines work sometimes makes worse.

This could be papilledema. You should get your visual acuity and visual fields tested too. Papilledema is swelling of the nerve of eye due to raised pressure in the the brain. An MRI of the Brain is required to see the cause for raised pressure. You should consult a Neurosurgeon.
