[|AI|]  Hello and welcome, Yes, these are symptoms of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.IIT may affect variety of areas in the body. Numbness, pain and burning sensation in both arms and hands can occur in IIT. For many patients Acetazolamide is used to decrease cerebrospinal fluid production. Please, consider if you are taking this medicine it may also cause similar side effects such as muscle pain/cramps, tingling of the hands or feet. These side effects need further investigation such as testing for blood electrolyte abnormalities. I hope I have answered your question. Please, feel free to ask me more in Chat Doctor if there is anything else you need to know. Thank you, Malik Among MD
