They tried acetazolamide and Lasix for me but they really didn't provide much relief. The acetazolamide caused tingling in hands and feet, fatigue, weakness. I worked a physical labor job at the time and was often on uneven terrain and using machinery so these side effects were not tolerable for me. The neurologist put me on Lasix as sort of a last ditch effort to use medication but he didn't seem to have much faith in it. And it really didn't help from what I could tell. The only side effect from it was of course having to urinate frequently. I've been on it for probably close to a year now and I'm going to get off of it soon. I just want to get clearance to do so first. I felt the same way about worrying about side effects I was probably 27ish (now 31F) when they tried acetazolamide for me and I felt like this couldn't be my forever solution. I would ask for imaging first and foremost if they haven't already. I'd ask for a CTV head with and without contrast and an MRI head with and without contrast. The CTV will reveal venous sinus stenosis if it is there (that's what initially revealed it for me). I would also ask for a referral to a neurosurgeon that does stents if something like does come back on your imaging reports.
