Why did i start seeing vertically double?

Hi guys.

So yesterday i noticed that i see doubled but its only "upwards" from my head direction.Let's say that im watching tv and the subtitles are kinda mirrored.It's hard to explain.This is present with both eyes no matter which one i cover.I Wake up in the morning and everything is fine until i remind myself of this problem.im afraid it might be tumor.even now as im typing all of the letters are "mirrored" vertically.but as soon as i forget about it it dissapears and i see normally.it happens also with distanced objects but its kinda like the edge is appearing vertically from an object.

Im 15 years old and never had problems with eyes or head until now

    I have had this kind of problem. but the blurred vision didn't disappear. I went to an eye doctor and I found out that I needed glasses. Right now I'm studying medicine. Well, I'm not sure that it's a tumor. It's a weird thing though. I have never heard of anything like this before. Have you told your parents yet? If so, what did they say? If not, you better tell them right away. I suggest you go to a doctor. Not an eye doctor, but a normal doctor. Have you checked out. I'm not sure that's it's a tumor, but just to be sure. It could be a disease or something like this. Please right back, and tell me what you decide to do. Maybe I can help you more.

    If it stays there if either eye is covered, it is not a tumor. If you see one image out of each eye and they do not line up, you have some kind of eye movement problem. These types of problems can be caused by tumors. If you see and image plus a shadow out of one eye, it is probably astigmatism.
