Eye Pain, Presurre?Three years ago i was going through traumatic event. Since then, I have mild presurre, tightness, on the right side of my head, mostly arround my right eye. I comes and goes. Last time i got sixt months break. Now it is back again, lasts a month then it goes away for about a month. On the daily basis, i got it mostly in the evening and in the morning. I have recognized, it is getting worse when I am stressed or I lie down. I also suffer from anxaiety and depression. I was check by opthometry doctor, and my eyes, nerves, prassure besides small astigmatism are fine. I work in front of computer 8 hours everyday. I am going to check my sinuses this week. Any ideas?

Maybe it's because you need glasses or something the same thing happened to me when i needed glasses, or because you have bad headakes. Also you said that you were depressed, don't be depressed, i love you (as a friend)

get checked for glaucoma and diabetes, both have a direct bearing on your condition. dot asap any vision loss is permanent

this is never easy. i feel for you.
if you have already had an eye examination, please disregard any answers you may get that talk about glaucoma. laypeople answering these questions here often read "eye" and "pressure" in the same sentence as google it and it comes up with "high eye pressure = glaucoma". since you have already had an eye examination and were deemed "fine" as far as your eye heath is concerned, then you do not have glaucoma. its already been ruled out, as has refractive error (the need for glasses). although you did state that you had some astigmatism, and uncorrected astigmatism is a known causer of headaches...
so, what else can cause the eye/head pain/pressure you describe? unfortunately a myriad of things, each of which has to be painstakingly and singularly ruled out. sinus pressure is a great place to start IMO. other possibilities include: migraines, temporal arteritis, systemic inflammatory conditions, etc etc ad nauseum.
good luck. i think you're going the right direction with the ENT

Well have you had a MRI to check for any lesions in your corticospinal tract, or lateral spinal tract. Those areas in you midbrain and madilla deal with pain, temp, and other important things. Also do you have a family history of heart conditions. Do you eat a lot of meat, like micky D's. There could be a slight obstruction affecting your MCP. Go to the neurologist and have em do a test on you.
