yes!!!! pressure in the head, visual disturbances, pressure against the back of the eyes, and my blood pressure is normal, I took zoloft the first week and all the pressure went away, but the second week I casually smoked two cigarettes, now the pressure came back but eased after a few days

No, anxiety cannot cause papilledema, but can cause many symptoms that mimic it.  What are you experiencing?
