Having some blurred vision and seeing floaters be signs of a bigger brain problem?

Probably not: Usually it's floaters or migraine. Or macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy etc. Or a stroke. The list is endless. If it's recent, go to ophthalmologist promptly.

Unlikely: Floaters are most commonly a localized eye problem but a good eye exam shoud be reassuring.
