Hi all. I am 26 and a Mum to three children. Currently going through a stressful time at the moment. Having just moved house 1 month ago, the current situation and coping with my disabled daughters behaviours.
OK so about 2 weeks ago now I don't some stupid. I was cleaning my kitchen cupboards and some of the mist from the cleaning product went into my eyes. I went and flushed my eyes. This set off a state of panic, I couldn't settle, I was physically sick and couldn't stop shaking. Anyhow I managed to calm myself and went to sleep. I was fine the following morning but obsessing over my eyes.
November 19 I last had an eye exam, I was told I had really dry eyes, due to blepharitis. But everything else was fine. Told to use some dry eye drops and went on my way.
I've had floaters since 2013 with flashing and I had them checked out several times at the hospital and each time I was told I was fine. It was put down to migraines.
Thursday night I was really tired and my eyes did seem very irritated. I did have some flashes from my left eye when I blinked went straight to bed before I started to panic. Fine tbr following morning just more super aware of my vision.
Ever since I am totally obsessing over my eyes. I don't know if I've got new floaters or if they are the same as I've always had just got used to having them I've barely noticed them all these years. I keep Seeing flashes but one day in can I am obsessing over right eye then the next day it's my left. I am having headache that are very short, I get pressure around my eyes again this changes from eye to eye. I can't help but worry that me getting cleaning product (must have been very little) in my eyes I have made myself start going blind.
I can't concentrate on anything else, forever Googleing hiding away from everyone in the house.
Had anybody went through something similar and can settle my mind.
Yesterday I was so close to going to the hospital to get my eyes checked but due to the current situation at the moment I feel so selfish putting more pressure on the NHS.
