I've been getting bad head aches everyday for a couple of weeks, it also feels like I'm waring a tight hat or someone is squeezing my head, some times I feel really dizzy,
I've got really good eye sight but I decided to pay a visit to my optician today so they could see if I am getting any pressure build ups in my shunt, due to my Hydrocephalus, after a thorougher examination, he said "my eye sight is perfect" but he is referring me to an Eye Specialist and he wants me to book an appointment with my local doctor, I don't know what to do, I'm not the sort of person who just go to doctors when I have a cold, I don't like going to see doctors and I don't know if it is worth it, I just hope it might go away
what do You think I should do ?
thank's for reading my problem

" go see the eye specialist. if they think that something else is up see your neurosurgeon... if it's not the hydro i would suggest seeing a neurologist... because there could be an underlying problem... "
