Stabbing Headaches, Tunnel Vision, Pupil Dilation And Nausea. Tested CBC, Reflexes And Lyme Disease, All Normal. Suggestions?

Hi, in early October I was laying on my bed at home and suffered a stabbing pain on the left side of my head. It lasted for about 5 seconds, then went away. I was fine so I didn't think much of it. However a week later I felt the same stabbing pain. Same length. The next day I was in a store at night and I suffered tunnel vision and a sense of derealization. I felt like nothing was real. The feeling soon disappeared and I felt fine. However the next day that same feeling came back and lasted nonstop for a week. I went in to see my doctor, who gave me a CBC and told me everything came out normal. My reflexes were normal and she said my pupils reacted to the light normally, so she ruled out a brain tumor. The feeling of "unrealness" went away after i worked hard to convince myself it was nothing. However i then started suffering from headaches everyday for about a week. That stopped suddenly too and i havent had a headache since. But i did notice many new floaters and my pupils abnormally dilated ever since. Sometimes people will comment on how big my pupils are. And i have been feeling nauseuous in my head alot kately too. Its a weird feeling, the same sensation as being nauseious in my stomach but instead i feel it in my head. I have not thrown up this whole time. I am very confused as to whats going on, and my doctor seems to think it is anxiety but i am sure otherwise. I have been tested for lyme disease and that came out negative as well. I do not have a fever. I have no vitamin deficiencies. But i know there is something wrong. Please help and give me some insight and clarity so i can start feeling better. Thank you very much :)

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The test of CBC is okay, but the CT imaging or MRI test is very necessary to rule out any pathological process in side the brain, once this comes unremarkable then we can think about something else but before that we can not say its anxiety, so in my opinion it is better to go for CT brain, take care of your self and have great day.
