Headaches
A primary symptom of intracranial pressure is the development of unusual headaches. When fluid pressure increases, it can begin to push the brain against the skull. This may feel like a growing pressure in the head or a pounding pain that continues to increase in severity.
While many people experience many kinds and severity of headaches, they are always not related to papilledema or intracranial swelling. Watching for other symptoms of concern will help medical professionals to help with a diagnosis.3‘Increased Intracranial Pressure.’ Healthgrades, 8 Jan. 2021, www.healthgrades.com/right-care/brain-and-nerves/increased-intracranial-pressure
