So I was just chilling on my bed last night, I was doing really well with my HA the past couple of days when suddenly I got like a dark shadow over my right eye and it freaked me out because it was only on one side. By the time I got to the bathroom to check my eye it was gone (so after like half a minute), but it was enough to got me panicking.
I kept having weird tingly feeling in my right eye tho and as if something was bothering my sight, but I couldn't get myself to figure out what (also I have bad eyesight anyway and if you already have glasses its sometimes hard to determine whether it got worse or not). But idk maybe this could be just bc I'm paying so much attention to it.
Although during my obseessive checking I found out that I see colours and light a tiny bit (but really only a little bit) more intensively on my left side than right. Idk if thats always been like that, and I'm telling myself no one is symmetrical but I've never noticed before (and i also never checked).
In any case this was enough for my brain tumour fear to come back with full force. I've just been to my GP now this morning and she said my pupils are responding normally and my eye movements are fine so it can't be anything wrong with my brain. I know that should calm me down but you know - anxiety!!! I've literally not stopped panicking in the past 12 hours.
Do you think its normal to not see colours 100% completely symmetrically on both sides? And I know that anxiety can cause sight impairments but can it also happen on just one single side? I didn't have a migraine or anything. Although I do have pressure headaches and my eyes sometimes hurt because of them as well.

also looking at my phone screen feels a bit funny and i have difficulty concentrating on reading
