hello,welcome to healthcaremagic

yes, ideally you should go to ER and get yourself checked up.

the most common etiology i would suspect is increased BP or hypertension

depending on your age, diagnosis of hypertension needs to be made by BP recordings for 7 days twice daily

also look out for other symptoms like excess sweating,weakness, headache photophobia.

pls visit nearby hospital asap.

hope this helps.
thank you
