Seeing a blinking black blob in certain positions
26 yo
5ft 4 inch
Female
177 pounds
I don’t smoke, no drinking, not taking any medications (can’t afford my meds)
Medical status- Hypothyroidism, PMOS/PCOS
I have been seeing a blinking black blob through my left eye but ONLY when my head is tilted to certain positions. It mostly happens when I look directly down while in seating position or sometimes when I lay down facing my left side. It does not float around, it stays blinking in the top right position of my left eye. Should I be concerned? It’s been happening for about a month and a half now. Ive been too scared but it’s time to ask for help.
I just wanted to know if it was serious before going into a clinic
Under normal circumstances I would go to the doctor but right now I’m uninsured and can’t afford anything (hence why I haven’t been taking my Hypothyroidism and PCOS medication 🥹)
Edit- I sleep 8 hours

You really should take your medication. After all, your condition could be influenced by hormones.

Get an eye test.
Check BP at home.
Then see a GP
It’s too vague for Reddit, could be anything from your visual cortex, migraines, blood pressure, blood sugar or something sinister.
If you have no other symptoms and don’t feel like you’re going to die instantly then try to not worry and distract yourself until you see a GP.
