seeing trails

I wear contact lenses to correct near-sightedness, and about a month ago I started to notice an odd symptom in my vision.  In low light, if I'm focusing on a still object and something moves slowly through my field of vision, I can see a short trail following the object.  I do not notice this in daylight, and it happens in both eyes.  I switched to my glasses about a week ago to see if it would go away, but it persists with or without correction.  I had my regular eye exam about 5 months ago and everything was fine then.  I am 27 years old, I am a nursing mother, and I have a mild case of mitral valve prolapse.  I don't know if any of this helps to explain my symptoms.  What is causing this?  It is only mildly irritating, but  it worries me a little.
