If i have a stuffy nose, does that mean i have pressure in your my leading to glaucoma?

No not at all: Eye pressure and sinus pressure are unrelated. One can have a stuffy nose or congested sinuses but that does not affect the eye pressure.

No: Not clear on what is being asked, but a stuffy nose is not a risk for glaucoma.
