Sometimes I wake up and my eyes are fine
and later in the day they feel like there
is pressure behind them and it just
bothers me.
And ummmmm, sometimes I wake up with it.
I am also a bruxer. (teeth grinding while
I sleep)
thanx :d

Hi Posted: 04-10-06 06:50am
Yes, I have this quite a bit, like every
day! This is what first prompted my trip
to e.R.! I had sever pressure behind my
left eye and a pounding headache on the
same side! They thought I was having an
anyeurism- did c.T. Scan, mri etc... It
is really the muscle that starts in front
of your ear and runs behind you eye, ir
makes that pressure feeling and pain. I
thought for sure my eyes were popping
outof my head for awhile, but now I know
what is causing the pain and pressure. I
also grind my teeth and have a bad bite
from it. Do you have any problems with
your vision? When I look at the sky I see
a strange swirling pattern that doens't
obstruct my vision but is still very
annoying. Don't worry, it's all from
your jaw, my eye doc. Looked at my eyes
twice during my episode befor I found out
what was causing all the pressure. I
don't know if oyu saw my other post but I
also got more floaters in my eyes because
of this! Hope this helps! Amanda :)

Ughhh I hate tmj. No I don't get eye
floaters thank god I already get tons of
stuff from tmj which makes me feel like im
losing my mind and depressed. It pretty
much sucks. Anyways, so ya I have been
grinding now for about 6 months, owww my
jaw hurts right now. Mines out of place n
stuff too. I used to have like perfect
teeth! After 3 months of harsh intense
grinding look what it has done to me,
physically and emotionally, I am not the
energetic girl I was. I can't do the
things I could do before, I am in too much
pain. If my heads not aching, my jaw is,
if its not my jaw, its my eyes, if its not
that, its I feel dizzy, if its not that,
im worrying about losing my mind.
I hate tmj.
Hopefully getting braces to fix this all
up although I know its gonna take more
than that.
I hate tmj.
Thanks for helpingme makes me feel better
knowing im not crazy this pain is real and
that other people are out there going
through what i'm going through
<3
