Freaked

I have this big vein that appeared in my eye a month ago, shortly after I started getting a black spot in that area when I did certain things. I had a normal ophthalmic exam at the time. Well the vein just keeps getting bigger and the black spot has changed to flashes, in the same spot. Today it's happening basically every time I tilt my head to that side. The docs suggested it might be migraine, but the vein is too weird. My boyfriend said today it was very odd and I should go back to hospital, and he's used to me freaking out. So I'm doing that tomorrow. A neurosurgeon was meant to be doing a follow-up scan on me (in August) for a cyst I have in my head and I just can't get a hold of him, but the cyst is nowhere near my eye so...idk.
The eye hospital has been telling me to get my GP to look into it and my GP told me to go back to the eye hospital. The health system is messed up here atm from cutbacks and it's very easy to fall through cracks. No one wants to treat or investigate anyond unless they're literally dying.
I have noticed that my eyes have been very dry and stingy. Has anyone else had dry/bloodshot eyes cause localised vision problems, or sinusitis (my face and head are very tender)? Google tells me they shouldn't be :-/
I just keep feeling like I'm getting sudden pains in my head and thinking 'oh no an aneurysm is bursting'. Just trying to make it through to tomorrow :-(
