Q: i get an uncomfortable pressure in my forehead, behind eyes & back of head if i straighten and stretch my back while sitting. what could this be?

Pressure: Pressure sensation behind eyes, forehead &amp; back can be due to a few things: do you have a cold, any sickness or diabetes? Sinusitis? Is your vision ok? Does this happen any other time? If you have no other issues, it could be a muscle spasm or muscle tension on your upper shoulder muscles that can give a sensation. Please consult with us or your MD to check to be sure eyes &amp; sinuses are ok.
