Diagnosing Discomfort and Pressure in the Eyes Posted: 07-01-06 16:36pm
About three days ago my eyes suddenly feel
like someone is pushing at them from
inside my head. This is affecting my
vision making it hard to focus also
causing extreme dizziness and extreme
nausea. Can you tell anything about what
might cause this. I don't think I'm going
to be able to continue functioning if this
lasts much longer.

I recommend you visit your GP first to
check your blood pressure, administer a
physical examination (especially
neurological) and to do some standard
blood work. If it is necessary, s/ he may
send you to an ophthalmologist to check
your vision and eye pressure or to a
neurologist for more detailed neurological
examination.
