Many things: I recommend an opthalmologist asap as some problems are dangerous.

Dim vision: The history sounds suspicious for an optic nerve problem. This could be as benign as an ocular migraine or something more serious. She needs to see an eye doctor as soon as possible.

Have a reoccurring headache in same spot for months, always feel off/tired, and I think my vision is declining. Will also occasionally get a painless aura in one eye. All related? Sister has moyamoya but unsure if that matters.

Often when I wake in the night, vision in one eye is much darker than the other. If I close the better eye, I can barely see in the dark. Thoughts?

Often, I see my heart pulsing through my vision. My vision changes with slightly darker and lighter patches tinting what Im seeing. I havent been looking for trends in timing, but I know it did just happen as soon as I woke up and opened my eyes ?
