So I got excited and tried the Diamox last night. I took it before bed around 9:30. I was up 3 times in the first 2 hours to pee but then it calmed down. However, when i got up this morning, I had a ton of pressure in my face/nose/facial sinus area and then a headache began to set in. I got back in bed and the pressure/headache stopped. I waited another 30 minutes, drank some water, & got back up & now the headache is ‘ok’. It almost feels like my brain is tingling haha…. Should I keep going with the Diamox, does this sound common to you guys? Or does this seem like a low pressure headache? It’s NOWHERE near the headache I had after a spinal tap a few years back. Also, my neck feels tight on the outsides (which is something I experience off & on).
