Hi all, 

just to start, I do have health anxiety and am 5 months post partum.

I started noticing flickering in my peripheral vision I bright daylight just after my third baby was born in November. It was a very stressful time as we were in and out of hospital and I still don't feel quite right about it all now if I'm honest. Anyway, I started noticing this flickering in our living room. We have black ceiling beams and every time they're in my peripheral in bright daylight I see this flickering/shimmering and sometimes my vision vibrates (usually worse when I'm anxious). I ignored it at first but eventually went for an eye test and an OCT scan which all came back normal. Ophthalmologist said she suspected ocular migraines and wasn't concerned. 

It doesn't seem to have gotten any better or any worse but my anxiety about it all right now is horrendous. I'm convinced I have a brain tumour as I started feeling dizzy at times around a month ago (after a cold) and I know this can be a symptom (although I can still balance perfectly fine so I'm wondering if it's more psychological and perceived than actual dizziness. I have occasional headaches but only mild. More like tension headaches etc. I'm going to see my GP on Monday, I know I should've gone sooner but I'm my own worst enemy and am terrified of surgeries, hospitals and clinical settings. I don't know whether he will refer me for scans or treat my anxiety. I am obviously worried about brain tumours although I know I'm 'probably' being worried unduly.
