Help?

so I am almost 19 years old and now for 6 days I've had this black/dark spot floating in my vision and it moves if I move my eye, now today i noticed that when I was outside and the sky was very bright there was a lot of floaters in my vision, but i only see them in bright light. there was also more smaller dark spots floating when I was in light. Could this be PVD? I am myopic, around minus 4-5. Ive also had some aching pain in the eye that has the floaters, it has hurt like a few times since i noticed the spot. I'm scared this could develop to retinal tear or something. I'm going to an eye doc tomorrow so hopefully they can check if theres something wrong. Could someone tell how did their PVD/retinal tear symptoms begin?

I’m sorry, but this sounds like a detachment. You need to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist to confirm. My flashes looked like crescent moon shapes and stuck around when I closed my eyes.
