I have had three episodes in the last three days, where I feel like I can't see
properly. I feel like I have blind spots, so when I look in the mirror I can't quite see my whole face. The other day I could not see anything to the left of me for a while. After that scary incident I was going to rush to the hospital, but while washing my face I saw a rather large goopy thing in my eye. It was about a half inch long with a black dot in it. I figured that it must have been moving over my pupil. I felt much better and had no problems the next day. Then today I had problems again. I went to the walk in clinic and told them about my problem. I am also having alot of pain in my collar bone shoulder area, so I told them about that also. I thought there might be a pinched nerve causing both. Anyways, the doctor seemed more focused on my shoulder and thinks that it is a muscular problem causing the pain and prescribed some muscle relaxers.
She did not seem that concerned about my vision. She looked in my eyes, had me follow her finger, checked my strenth and said not to worry about it.
She said that if it continues to see a eye doctor. My Question is if anybody has had a similar experience and if they think it could be caused by anxiety. My anxiety had been improving until this incident and I did not feel overly stressed before my vision problems happened, but I am in a great deel of pain around my collar bone. Needless to say I am very anxious now.
