Aneurysms are very unlikely and take a complex set of events to cause them. Migraines can ce caused by stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, dehydration, lack of food and/or heat exhaustion amongst other things. Try covering the basics and if that doesn't work then speaking to a chemist or pharmacist if you can't speak to your doctor. I learnt the hard way that Dr. Google isn't nearly as qualified he seems and his bedside manner leaves much to be desired xx

It normally happens to me with migraine. Try to keep yourself well hydrated. Maybe speak to a doctor, it sounds very similar to silent migraines xx

I can relate! Mostly at night, but you have nothing to worry about. I no longer see them. I’ve heard dry eyes could be one of the reasons. I use eye drops because my eyes become dry sometimes.

too much computer, looking at phones with blue lights. Rest your eyes and put some moisture eye drops, like refresh or Gen Teal Tears in them. Worrying only makes them worse. R>E>L>A>X

I had that and it was something called Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) which is the jelly like substance turning watery.

It is very common, you see flashes of sparking light in your peripheral view, at the side of your eyes, much more noticeable in the dark.

It can be dangerous if the retina detaches....but that is rate.

Go get checked out. If you live in the UK it is free at any opticians as it is covered by the NHS.

Don't want to alarm you, but it's worth an appointment.

I've had it for 2 years now and the flashes are calming down. You can get floaters with it too, but your brain quickly adjusts to them.
