What Does A Blind Spot In The Eye Indicate?

Hi, I recently noticed that the natural blind spot in my eye had enlarged and it was really hard to look at my phone screen because i couldn’t see any text unless i searched my screen for it, and then i decided to do the thumb blind spot test and i noticed that i could hold my entire fist right next to my face and i couldn’t see it, but after experiencing this it went away after an hour, should i be worried?
