For the past few months i have been seeing lines around lights out of my eye, and now it feels like the top of my vision is gone, or like i can see my forehead if that makes sense. Also a few times ive had rainbow vertical lines that take up my whole vision for a few seconds. I have an eye appt in two weeks but very nervous. I have been under a lot of stress lately, and just got divorced today. Im worried about having glaucoma or something neurological.
Do you ever get migraines?
Stress can cause visual symptoms but it’s good to have it checked out to be sure.
When I was extremely stressed out in my 20s, I had floaters in my eyes, flashes . All was ok, but even when I’m stressed out these days, I still get the floaters .
while you are waiting to see the doctor, try some stress reduction. I really like the meditations on YouTube for anxiety, sleep, stress, etc. They completely relax my mind body and symptoms. There are some great mindfulness meditation’s on there. I like to use earbuds and lay down just before going to sleep and listen. I do them during the day also. You May be able to reduce your symptoms this way.
do things that relax you like taking a walk, do slow deep breathing , listening to soothing nature sounds like the ocean waves or rain, etc
Good luck at your appointment 😁❤️
Thank you. I get occular migraines sometimes.
