Well just as I am starting to realize that my chest pain and constant left arm pain are anxiety I woke up with eye pain. It hurts when I move my eyes. Of course I am thinking brain tumor or ms as I also feel slightly dizzy (which I have felt for probably 3 years) and a weird sensitivity to light along with eye floaters. I just feel like my vision is off. I of course told my husband immediately expecting him to worry he instead said that I probably spent too much time on the computer this week and way too much time staring at tiny words on  my cell phone. I also have severe month long tooth issue going on but I am scared to go to the dentist so now I assume of course the infection has gone to my brain. My other says I am wrong and that pregnancy (5 months) can seriously affect your vision and I am most likely straining my eyes. When I describe these symptoms to my gyno she seems concerned (except eyes i havent told her that) but by husband always says exactly how long i have felt this way. When I described my breathing chests issues she was concerned and started looking into getting me a cardio appt. My husband interjected that I already have a cardiologist and I was just checked out for the same symptoms less than 8 months ago. When I mentioned my dizziness she explained that he remembers me mentioning my dizziness at a family party and my mother said that was a complaint i had for years. These eye issues are terrifying me though. My last eye appt was 3 years ago and he gave me glasses which I never use. I am terrified to go back. I had the eye pain about a year ago for a few days but it went away. My doc did a neuro test and I passed with flying colors. My last mri of my neck was about 2 or 3 years ago and came back with some disc issues. I also have tmj. Please help!

Oh honey. I could have written part of this post. I've been having the chest/back/arm pain and got those fears of lung ca under control and the  NEXT day started having eye pain!!! The thing is, our brains are sick with ha. If you were told to wear glasses and you don't, eye STRAIN is a real possiblity. I think your husband is WONDERFUL to keep you from needless tests etc and for speaking up for you to tame your ha. Good job hubby!
Now, let me tell you when I was 6 months pregnant I went rushing to the eye doctor. I'd been having pain behind my eyes and one day got these flashing lights that moved across my vision and a terrible pain behind my eyes. I thought I was going blind or something. GUESS WHAT. They said it was ocular migranes and harmless and went on to explain that pregnancy hormones do crazy things to the eyes.
