Exclamation Hydrocephalus???

So here I am up with Insomnia from new med's I just started....I was talking to my love earlier yesterday and looked in mirror and noticed my pupils were not dilated equally.(This was before I took this first dose of new med)

I guess my love had told me this before several times in past year and half but I forgot(imagine that). I know it is common in a head injury directly after injury but I am over a year since injury. I might be spazing out but I am thinking maybe Hydrocephalus?

I have been to all these doctors why was this not caught or brought up?So here I am looking up different things that this could be and put a big bright sticky note reminder for next appointment to neuro. I have had 2 eye exams in last 6months....they say I am ok never anything about this.

Any suggestions to this condition/symptom?
