Just wanted any advice and if anyone suffers from similar symptoms.

Can't see my doctor at the moment at all and Just getting an appointment is a very long wait itself.

I have been having serious headaches for a long time but I believe that is because of darkness/blackness that appears in front of my eyes quite a lot. Kinda hard to explain it tbh.

Have taken various medication as well but doesn't really stop the issue permanently. Taken eye drops to see if that would help but didn't.

Has anyone experienced same issues when seeing?
 
When you say it's a very long wait for an appointment, bear in mind that until you book the appointment thar wait won't get any shorter. If you've been suffering for some time and have ruled out all the obvious causes (screen time as cacti mentions, stress, dehydration etc) then it's definitely something you should be seeing your GP about.

Hope you get to the bottom of it and feel better soon.
 
Just stop knocking cheeky w***s out and will help pmsl it could be bad migraines I get them Alot and Dr prescribes me 500mg anti flametry and 500mg cocodamol do feel hi when taking together but does do trick in meantime you can take 2 paracetamol and 1 ibropuphen at same time to help
 
Seen an optician last year but they said my eyesight was fine.

Don't really sit on pc or much devices that much.

They did tests end of last year thinking something worse but was inconclusive and was told they had to do more tests.

Was supposed to be done in March but they had to push it back.

I am stressed most of the time for various reasons and depression can take over if have bad days. Don't Know if that is causing the problems I described.

Taken same medication over long period mate but side effects don't help.

I try to stay clear of medication if I can as it's drains me completely and just feel exhausted.

Have some weight on me which doesn't help.
 
Stress will give you grief and will have a bearing on eyes,migraine,no sat box,been on tk longer each day and maybe try altering your screen brightness.Tumeric is an old natural help for ailments.
You said not on pc too much so how are you on TK? phone =too small for me and use laptop/pc desktop.
 
Sounds like cataracts, does it look like theres a clear film across your eye. But also, dont be stupid and diagnose yourself over the internet. Get yourself to a professional, optician and doctor. Take a break from any screen time for the next couple of days and get some exercise. Exercise is the best thing for your body and fresh air in my experience clears my head.

Cant help the stress mate. I try to get less stressed just sitting in garden and doing few things but then just come back again.

I hate taking medicine they prescribe or any medicine from doctors due to side effects.

Have taken herbal medicine which are long courses for previous illnesses and helped in a massive way. So may go back to herbal medicine which imo is best as no side effects what so ever.

Hard to explain it mate. kinda blurryness but I just blackness like black lines in front of my eyes.

When it happens I usually just lie down for a bit and it settles down.

They know of the issues mate but they still dont know whats causing it hence waiting for further tests. Medicine I have taken and even eye drops havent helped.

I been done some exercise in the garden every day but last few days been walking around my area really late at night when no ones around. See how that goes.
 
I still recommend an optician as he can look behind the eyes,plus if he's not happy he can get you referred to a specialist m8, good luck with which ever way you go m8.
 
Maybe a migraine as @bazcfc1 has said. I dont suffer them but my lad does
He got rushed into hospital a few years back, with really bad headaches they run all kinds of tests but never found any issues
It was only a last resort that they said try migraleve and hey presto it worked

Medicine can help but has never stopped issue.

I tend to stay away from any homeopathic medicine they tell me to take. As suffered from really bad stomach aches and ulsers years ago.

Would not go near any of these "normal" medication like ibuprofen, codeine etc. Paracetamol is utterly useless imo dont help with any pains.

Already went opticians last year mate done complete test but found nothing said everything was normal and couldnt find any abnormalities.

If it is worth another test then will try to book an appointment again depends on how long will take to see them at this time.
