Lightheadedness for 7 weeks, last two days can hardly stand. does this mean not enough 02 to my brain... and a stroke?

Pseudotumor cerebri: The symptoms that you describe are consistent with low blood pressure and your medications may need an adjustment from your doctor. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension or Pseudotumor cerebri is raised pressure in the brain that leads to severe headaches and vision loss. Diamox (acetazolamide) and losing weight under a physician supervised program can reduce or eliminate the high pressure in the brain.
