Female aged 25 yrs, weight 87 kgs, height 165 cms. I have a medical history of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). I underwent lumbar puncture in March 2014. No current medication/disorder. I would like to take Garcinia Cambogia for weight loss. Ingredients: Garcinia Cambogia extract standardised 60% HCA & 15% Natural Calcium. Will taking this supplement have a negative impact on my health because of my medical history? Will this increase my intracranial hypertension?

No, you can use these as this is only a natural or herbal supplement and it is a not a chemical formula to effect your health and Garcinia is effective for weight loss.
