Hi,
Okay so around 10 months ago I had a lot of problems with my vision that were anxiety related such as more floaters, flashing lights, coloured blobs etc.
I got over that after many visits to the opticians and just chose to accept there was nothing wrong, I still have a couple of the symptoms but I think after 10 months I think I'd know if it was something serious and even asked about the flashes of light 2 months ago and my optician said its only a problem if it gets worse or it happens during the day constantly.
But a couple of days ago I saw what I can only describe as little starbursts of light. They last for around 2 secs then they're gone. I had it on Wednesday after a stressful day as it was my first day at college and I had a job interview too so I just forgot about it.
However this morning I was in the bathroom and I noticed it AGAIN and now I'm really worried.
I've rang up my opticians and he could only fit me in for next Thursday :( I was really hoping to get it sorted tomorrow as it really isn't a good time for my HA to be flaring up again as I really want to do well in college and not get distracted.
I'm so scared I'm going to go blind as with the career I'm going in to I really need my vision (I'm studying Make-Up and Hair) :( I think I'm going to go insane by next Thursday, I'm convinced I've got a retinal detachment or a retinal tear.
I have seriously strained my neck recently too so I don't know if that can cause visual disturbances or not.
Please help I'm really scared!
