    Weird visual symptom

    I’ve had this for the last 6 weeks now, have been put on sertraline as it caused my anxiety to sky rocket. Have had my eyes checked including dilated exam and all fine. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar....
    Only way I can describe it is if I’m looking at plain bright surfaces they flash/shimmer. If I’m walking and looking straight ahead for example, the road flashes/shimmers in my peripheral vision. It doesn’t do it on busy surfaces and some days it isn’t as noticeable as others.

    I have heard of a friend’s family member doing this and it was blood pressure. Is yours within normal range?
