That's quick way to look for csf high pressure but not sure that's conclusive for your situation.

I have to agree with Pogo with seeing your doc ASAP. I say this because I didn't and things got progressively worse and worse and by the time I did see a dr they needed to operate immediately, emergency surgery.
BUT, in the intervening time I did see an ophthalmologist. They told me there was no indication of raised pressure present and suggested that my symptoms may be caused by scar tissue within the brain from past surgeries. The neurosurgeon was highly critical of the diagnosis of scar tissue. Upon the scan being ordered by the surgeon and performed an issue was seen hence the need for further surgery.
Best of luck with it all
