One eye bigger

Ok. I don't ever post on forums but my health has me to a point of near panic attacks. About a month ago I started having pain in one of my eyes. The eye felt pressure and was strained. At work on the computer it seemed to get worse throughout the day, causing headaches. I went to 2 eye doctors who both told me they didn't see anything and that maybe I should try some reading glasses. I told both of them that my one eye appears to be slightly larger than the other and my only response was that everyone's eyes are a little asymmetrical. Although, I understand that everyone is not perfectly symmetrical, my eyes have changed over the last few weeks. I have tried glasses, which have not helped. I went to to my PCP and was tested for Graves/Hyperthyroid and that came back negative. I do have an appointment with a Neuro-ophthalmologist but that is not for another month. Since then my Dr made me wear a heart monitor for 24 hours since my resting heart rate was 113 when I was in his office. Now I am being referred to a Cardiologist because my heart rate measured from 30-150 BPM during that 24 hours. I am really concerned about my eye and don't know if my heart issues are associated or if they are a manifestation from the anxiety I have had with trying to find a diagnosis. I really could use some advice. Am I being crazy?

I suspect your eye and heart problems are not related. Keep the appointment with the neuro-ophthalmologist and your cardiologist.
