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

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.
