Hello Lordhelpme.  Your symptoms do not suggest any time of cerebral aneurysm or life threatening condition. This is especially true if you have had a normal eye examination. It is far more likely your problem is depression and anxiety. I suggest you discuss this with your personal physician or make an appointment with a psychiatrist to try and deal with and work through your fears caused by your friend's death.

If you will use the search feature on this page you can learn about "Floaters" which are common and about one in five people you age have floaters.

You really need to do something to deal with your anxiety.
