Okay so for the past 5 or so years I have been plagued by the following symptoms involving my eyes:
Seeing my pulse in my vision. Usually only when my heart rate is elevated but I can pretty much notice it at any time if I focus hard enough. I don't mean I look in the mirror and see my eyes pulsating, I literally mean my actual vision pulses with my heart beat.
Visual snow so bad I can't even see my hand a few inches in front of my face when it's dark.
Weird floaters of all shapes and sizes, but some of them are stationary and just sit there in the same spot and I only notice them if I focus.
Constant weird bright splotches in my vision as if I just looked at something bright, but they don't go away. This symptom is fairly new and started in the past month. I also notice a huge dark spot in the center of my vision in both eyes when I'm in a dark room. I open my eyes and the splotch is there for a split second and shrinks immediately and disappears until I close and open my eyes again.
Sometimes it seems as if my vision is literally shaking in some spots.
After I have been walking for a while I stop and realize that it looks like everything is moving inward slightly. This only happens when I am walking or running, not with other types of exercise. Maybe it could be a sort of motion sickness?
Sometimes I notice a weird thing in the center of my vision that looks like a dark transparent aura, almost like water rippling.
This is by far the weirdest thing that I experience, it started about 5 years ago and has happened ever since and no matter how much I explain it to people nobody understands. Whenever I look up or down or to the side very far, I start to see what looks like two circles of pressure in my vision. Almost as if someone is putting their thumbs over each of my eyes and pressing down on them. I wouldn't be as worried about this one if it weren't for the fact that once or twice the circles have floated around my vision by themselves after appearing, and they sometimes just appear in my vision and sit there, usually when I just wake up or I'm very tired.
I really don't know what's wrong with me other than horrible depression and health anxiety. I used to have high blood pressure but its normal now. I have had blood tests done very recently and everything came back perfectly normal aside from the fact that I'm slightly anemic. I have had my eyes tested, also very recently, and they said nothing was wrong other than my astigmatism but my eye pressure and everything was normal. The only thing I haven't had checked is my brain, and I am scared to have that checked out because of my brain tumor fears. I have also been feeling extremely fatigued and exhausted lately to the fact that I can barely function and I'm constantly feeling like I'm going to pass out, in every sense of the phrase. Someone please help me.
