Default Seeing stars flash and disappear

I see bright specks of light flash and disappear. This symptom coexists with
visual snow. I also have acute heart pain and occasionally retch.

Has anyone ever heard of these symptoms?

I've heard that those specks of light come from smoking dope or even smoking
dope a long time ago. Your heart pain could be acid reflux. You might try
Prilosec over the counter.

Well first since you are having chest pain you better find out the reason.
If it turns out to be anxiety then at least it's not a heart attack. If your
not getting enough blood and oxygen to brain this could explain the white
specks and stuff.

If this turns out it's anxiety there is a thing called a "floater" it's just
something that is common and happens to most people at one time or another.

Get medical attention I would say immediately.

Could be getting a detached retina and going blind. See an eye doctor
immediately.

Often times if I look up to the heavens, I'll see bunch of small
lights going on and off - this has been going on for well over 10
years so I'm used to it. I don't know what you mean by "visual snow"
though unless you mean "floaters" (debris in the vitreous humor of the
eye).

I have the heart pain on occasion - sometimes I see little bright
lights fly in and out of the chest area (above the heart) and
occasionally along with it a sort of 'thump' of that area though not a
regular, heart-beat thump. Occasionally they're dark stars (the bright
stars and dark stars normally enter in via my belly - I see this quite
regularly).

My first experience with heart-pain involved feeling something like an
invisible sword enter into my upper shoulder then down into the
heart. I've come to the conclusion that this was Jesus Christ
circumcising my heart. As a result, I associate most all, sharp heart
pain with spiritual phenomena. Sometimes if I think I'm going to die I
get on my knees and say something like, "Jesus, I've done my best; if
it's my time to go, I won't argue but if I can be of more use on the
earth, then I'm all up for it."

As for the retch, I get that fairly often. I think it may be the
demons being exercised out of me. Occasionally I'll see something fly
out of my mouth immediately after (or during?) the retch, others times
I do not.

I used to get these symptoms many years go.

At that time I was suffering from Hypoglycemia.

I often would see white stars that were stationary, and also would see
black stars that were always in motion.

It seemed as thought different parts of the brains visual center were
being affected. The white stars dealt with the part of the brain that
deals with static images, and the moving black stars dealt with the
part of the brain that processes the detection of moving images.

Once my Hypoglycemia was cured, the problems vanished.

In my case, the brain was under nourished due to the Hypoglycemia.
