Afternoon
I’m aware I may have a slight touch of health anxiety about this so by all means tell me to stop being daft.
Background - in case its relevant I’m currently on thyroxine and HRT patches. Last had bloods taken for thyroid in the spring. I also wear glasses (last test in the summer and all good) and the prescription in my left eye is very high … I’m hoping the freakish magnification may be a contributing factor. I’ve also always been prone to mild conjunctivitis which may get a few times a year in either eye. This is a ends to clear itself up within a few days.
Anyway - and thanks for bearing with me - My sleep has gone crap again lately with early morning wake ups, followed by heaacahes and slightly bloodshot eye. Happening 3 to 4 nights a week complete with night sweats ramping up again. Again didn’t want to drip feed in case relevant.
Yesterday I was obsessed with looking at my slightly bloodshot left eye when I noticed what appeared to be - the white of my eye , when I looked in a mirror and to my right to show the inner corner, seems to have very slightly receded towards the middle of my eye more than my other one. I know this sounds odd.
There is absolutely no pain, discomfort at r no odd feelings n my eye and also no visual disturbances at all. No weeping or gunge either.
As soon as I noticed it I immediately started imagining something awful and the anxiety made me feel so sick I had to lie on my cold kitchen floor and let the faint feeling pass 😁
DH is adamant on looking it just looks a bit pink but looks like a normal eye. It didn’t seem quite as bad this am and now.
Any ideas? I’d take a pic but I’d probably pass out. Can the white of an eye shrink a little? I actually feel a bit stupid asking the question …
