Eye redness and tired

Posted , 1 user is following.

This started back after february 4th when i didn't sleep enough one night. Even when i sleep enough, my right eye will get consistently red (left of pupil, usually) and also my left. I usually feel fine right after getting up or a couple hours after.

The trigger is either: Being on my mac for 20+ minutes (only sometimes?) Reading magazine titles (for work) or driving. I consistently notice that if i get in a dark room or off my laptop then it dissipates. These are made more prominent when i don't sleep enough. These few things would make you say it's a vision issue but, i never have any issues seeing or reading anything? Last time i got an eye test, probably 7 years ago? I was 15/20 i think, and my right eye has always been weaker.

I've always had health anxiety so this going off and on for months first led me to think i had apnea, then diabetes, and 10,000 other things. I hate going to the doctor and i'm just afraid it'll be something bad.
