Welcome to HCM
Good Day
Papilloedema is caused by high pressure behind the eye, which can be from brain and also involving optic nerves. Diamox will have effect in Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The nausea may not be probably due to Diamox but more because of the IIH which you have, can cause headache, nausea, vomiting. Tell your Doctor about this and he may make dose adjustments to prevent this side effect.
