Spots in vision and bad anxiety

So lately ive been seeing what looks like shooting stars, or kinda like raindrops on a wind shield flying through my vision in the mornings or sometimes when i cough, coupled with fatigue and confusion, I'm really worried i have cancer or something because i read that leukima and lymphoma can effect your eyes.

Dawners, we aren't medically trained to be able to give you a definitive answer to your eye problems. It could be anxiety, unlikely to be cancer but I recommend you have your eyes examined regarding the shooting stars and raindrops that disturb your vision. Ask your doc for a referral to an eye specialist or better still if you know of an eye hospital that has a walk in A&E facility go straight to them. In London there is a 24/7 A&E at Moorfields Eye Hospital in City Road.

Have had this a lot. Had it as a child though no one knew because I didn't tell anyone. Doctors pretty much dismissed it when I brought it up recently. But having said that it is always a good idea to mention anything to your optician or doctor as it is worrying you. As Jeff1943 says, we are not medically trained and you wil feel better for getting an expert opinion.
