You do need this checked out. One or two new floaters but no decrease in vision, no flashes and no loss of peripheral vision is generally not a cause for concern. However with any of the other symptoms I just listed a prompt eye examination by an ophthalmologist (Eye MD) is very important.
You should schedule an examination with an Ophthalmologist as soon as possible hopefully early this coming week.
