Question 1

when descending in an airplane i get terrible pressure behind my eye. what can i do to stop this?

Accepted Answer

Check the sinuses: The transient pressure felt behind the globe and in the face area is usually due to pressure changes and the sinuses.  Sometimes, sinus congestion prevents equalization of the pressure between the sinus and outside.  Decongestants can help but the best thing is to see your primary care doctor if this occurs frequently.

i have terrible pressure behind eyes in my forehead i get disoriented... it hurts to move my eyes...no runny nose or eyes. i had an mri and they said my brain is fine because my cognitive abilitities are declining... what can i do.. doctor s just keep giv

Accepted Answer

See below: You really need to continue your evaluation. Sinus can cause your symptoms. Hopefully you have not had any trauma to the brain. Also you should have lab studies done. Try hydrating with very hot fluids to clear the sinus and see if this helps with that pressure feeling. Start with that if no relief get in to the doctor for more evaluation

Question 3

when i do crunches, i get terrible eye pressure. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't hurt: Although eye pressure can go up when we strain (bearing down, hand/head stands), the pressure should not get to a point where it causes pain.  Does your vision change as well? I recommend that you have your eye pressure checked and have a dilated eye examination by an eye doctor. You may be getting a greater-than-normal elevation of eye pressure, which should be evaluated.

Question 4

i have sinus pressure behind my eyes what could i do at home to get ride of it?

Accepted Answer

Sinus: If you are not allergic, over the counter Sudafed is your best option. If the pain continues for more than 10 days, y should seek a physician to rule out a sinus infection requiring antibiotics.

Question 5

lately my headaches have been accompanied by pressure behind my left eye. should i get this checked?

Accepted Answer

Eye examination: Most headaches are not from eye issues and a feeling of pressure behind the eye is common.  However it would be reasonable to get a baseline examination by an ophthalmologist just to determine the overall health of your eyes.  There is no rush to do this but it is a reasonable precaution.

Question 6

can you get headaches, dizziness, and slight pressure behind the eyes from not wearing glasses when you need them?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not wearing glasses can cause these symptoms.

Question 7

i get really bad head achs and latetly i.been getting a bad pressure like pian behind my right eye near my eye lid?

Accepted Answer

Headache: You should see your primary doctor or eye md. Sounds like migraines or sinus headache. Could be something more serious though!

Question 8

i was hit in the head last night pretty hard. i think it's bruised and it feels like there's pressure behind my eyes. should i go get seen?

Accepted Answer

Bang A Gong (T Rex): Well, you're young and you made it through the night. That's a good sign. Feeling a little punk with a headache or slight queeziness is a pretty normal response. But if things start to get worse (dizzy, vomiting,increasing headache, feeling like there's a need for an exorcist) then you should get to a doctor for evaluation. By the way, you didn't mention what konked you or if you blacked out.

Question 9

why do my eyes have pressure behind them and when i blink i get pressure in my ears that causes pain and dizzyness?

Accepted Answer

Eye exam: Pressure in the eyes can mean many things, the most concerning is glaucoma. This is diagnosed on the basis of an eye exam. You may try artificial tear lubricating eye drops to help the symptoms.

Question 10

my eyes get sore if i do not push on them to release the pressure behind them it makes a squeaking noise when i do ?

Accepted Answer

Interesting : Well this is a first for me, and therefore is have to guess a bit. You may feel better just by the forced closure and rubbing action delivered to your eye through the eyelids. The pressure may stimulate some tearing, real lease of oil and mucous secretions thereby making your eyes more comfortable. I advise doing something different. Use warm compress to closed eyes, artificial tears. Better 4 eye
