    Strange wavy moving lines at the bottom of my vision

    Hello! It used to happen before, but I never thought anything of it. Now it drew my attention as I'm still in my brain tumor era ✨
    So, sometimes, especially in the morning when I wake up, I see these strange moving black waves at the bottom of my vision. They never go up to the center, they look kind of like the lines that appear on the water when you throw rock in it, but mine aren't circles, more like half of circles coming from the bottom. The whole thing lasts for maybe a minute max and disappears completely. Does anybody happen to have something similar? I'm pregnant and don't want to stress myself too much with doctors visits and tests :/

    I don't specifically have the lines, but i have a lot of visual issues. Always have had. I'm not even sure it's anxiety, I think it's just over sensitivity of the senses.
    I often look at my phone first thing in the morning and see flashes of light constantly from the bright screen, because my eyes are still adjusting to waking up in the morning. It's almost like little lightning strikes in the corners of my eyes.
    I often watch TV, and then look at something else and the imprint of the TV will follow me. Same with blinds, I'll sometimes see lines in my vision for like 10 minutes.

    Anyways, I was trying to google it (sooo stupid, I know), and even dr Google doesn't know these weird waves... So I hope they're not deadly lol

    Maybe some form of Visual Migraine / Aura?

    For around 15 years now I randomly get something called 'Scintillating Scotoma', which is a form of migraine with aura. Some people get the visual aura with is followed by a migraine, however I normally just get the visual aura (scintillating scotoma) and no migraine. It normally lasts around 20 minutes.

    Hmm, it doesn't look like google Images of visual migraine/aura so I'm quite sure it's something different. And it happens 99% of times when I just wake up and start to look at the world
