Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to any pathology in the retina or vitreous humor of eye.
So, kindly consult an ophthalmologist & get your eyes checked.

Other causes for such symptoms can be:
1. Fatigue due to excessive exercise/running
2. Inadequate hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body
3. Hypoglycemia- decreased blood glucose level
4. Hypotension (deceased blood pressure)
5. Anemia- due to dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Folic acid, etc. which interferes with blood formation.

Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Please let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
