Hi & Welcome.
Based on the history given in your query, you seem to have developed a less common but serious condition called Pseudotumor cerebri (increase pressure inside your skull or raised intracranial pressure).
It is a progressively worsening condition which may result in vision problems.
So, you are therefore advised to visit the ER for further evaluation and an urgent treatment.
Hope this will help you.
Best wishes.
