Go to the ER. Don’t wait to see a doctor and mention it. I lost my sight because I did not go to the ER right away. You have GCA which is terribly serious

I went to the ER Wednesday they ran a bunch of bloodwork, Glaucoma test and done a CT which showed negative for GCA, seeing a Choridal Fissure Cyst on my brain they were concerned ( I’ve had it for 30+years) so more bloodwork and an MRI the next day it’s not the cyst but headaches keep happening , medicine list totally screwed up and I was bragged upon for a printout of all my medical , They tried giving me a blood pressure pill that changed last year I switched to a different one they tried giving them both and the wrong dose of my new pill and when told I take mine in the morning they changed it but still tried giving both the next morning. I’m still scheduled for head/neck soft tissue ultrasound Tuesday . They tried imitrax for migraine(single and double dose , prednisone , doubled Methocarbamol from 650 at bed to 1500mg 3x a day, hydrocodone, tramadol, Tylenol. Nothing helped I have a pinched nerve I believe at C2 and another going both directions C4/5 or C5/6 and C6/7 spinal starting to pinch plus bulging disc. I leaned my head to the side and felt the pain so I’m thinking it’s pulling on my neck . I kept slightly swelling at night on my right temple and a headache when getting up sometimes both sides. I also had the stimulator put in in January then redone April 8 and readjusted a week before headache. I’m wondering as well about the stimulator causing it after reading about leads moving and paddles not helping
My leads moved and I had them replaced with paddles that’s not working right yet.
