paraphrased

I don't know whether this means anything bad, but I'm seeing this peculiar C-like image in the left area of my eyesight. It's shimmering, like something radiating, like beautiful water waves.

Normally, I wouldn't be bothered by anything shimmering, but as this seems to be in my eyes, it is interfering with my eyesight. I try to read, but it blocks some of my direct line of sight, so I can hardly read anything. I have to go back so that I can see the words to the left of my eyesight line. (This is proof that the human eyes read by taking in the whole, not by reading each individual letter.)

I wonder if it's a sign of an onset of blindness, or that my eyes and brain are resetting itself. I know this happened before, once. It's in exactly the same place.

Now the "C" is expanding! Before, it was only a small dots that directly impeded my eyesight. Now it is large, but at the very least I can read a little bit now. The image that once block my vision is now blocking the more peripheral vision. I feel like something is moving in the corner of my eyes, including the top and bottom.

Is it glaucoma?

Why is it that I always have some health problems? Am I hypochondraic? I would not like to think so.

Now it's in the corner of my eyes, the top and bottom seem to be gone. But it's a little bit uncomfortable. The sensation feels like I have a foreign object in my eyes, blocking my vision. And the sensation seems to be coming from my left eye, my right eye doesn't seem too shabby.

Now, the image is gone, but I'm still seeing a possible after-effect. Rather than blocking my vision, I seem to be seeing through the "ghost" image. It's like the image that you get after playing a game for long period of time, when you close your eyes, you still see pictures from the game.

My peripheral vision apperas to have returned to normal. The image sensation took place for half-an-hour, maybe longer.

I checked WebMD, but I could find nothing except possibly "curtain" or "flash of light" that could explain my dilemma. But the symptoms are primarily that the vision change is permanent, or at least half an hour. I won't call a health professional, but I'll be sure to mention this to my optometrist.

Now, I have a slight headache, and a little loss of appetite. Is this migraine? Migraine caused my stress?
