vision disturbances and fatigue, any ideas?

Hello. I am 54 year old woman, and I have a problem with vision disturbances and fatigue. I have often optical disturbances which are accompanied with slight headaches, and I have problem sleeping now. I see lines and dots, and I don't know what is wrong with me. I was taking painkillers, but all they do is make me sleepy or even sometimes dizzy.

Hi. This could be a serious case of migraine. You should go to the doctor, and check this thing out. Just in case it is serious. About the visual part, they are often accompanied with the migraines – but if that isn't it (and there is a big possibility it isn't), maybe you should consider that it is on a psychical base. In that case, I advise taking some time of and enjoying yourself. If you aren't in ability to chill out, maybe you could go get some professional help.
