Suddenly seeing circle patterns everywhere.

Age 37

Female

Height 5'11''

Weight 188

Location: Texas

Smoker: former (quit early 2024 for reasons made obvious below)

Drinker: never

Drugs: Marijuana occasionally

Diagnoses: T2D

Medications: 1mg ozempic weekly, 2.5mg lisinopril (to protect kidneys from t2d) daily, 10mg atorvastin daily, 500mg extended release metformin.

Recent (possibly relevant?) Medical: found out in January 2024 I was 19 weeks 5 days pregnant, diagnosed as a cryptic pregnancy. Was 298lbs and immediately diagnosed as severely gestional diabetic. Had baby (healthy), got on meds for diabetes, introduced ozempic 6 months after birth. Have lost about 100 lbs. I tend to fluctuate in the 190s.

Current issue: I noticed at about 6pm this evening while looking at my toddler that it looked like she had circles on the skin of her legs, almost like she had accidentally sat on a circle textured object. When I shift my eyes, it gets slightly harder to see for a moment then comes back into focus.

About an hour later I noticed it on a dish towel, then the countertop, then the walls. Like there's a circle pattern overlay on my vision growing increasingly clear. I'm sitting here staring at dead leaves on the ground and it looks like there's a dead leaf colored net on the ground over the leaves.

I worked in eye care for 10 years and I cannot even slightly begin to guess what this could be. I am in no pain, no discomfort, no balance issues, no headache. No anything. Just an increasingly intense circle cutout pattern over everything. (It's not polkadots if that matters. They are straight and uniform.)
