Felling of pressure in head and eyes

4 replies

Since yesterday I've had a feeling of uncomfortable pressure in my head and behind my eyes. I feel it most when I bend down. I did my Blood Pressure and it was relatively low 94/65, (I normally have lowish BP)

I will obviously go to see my GP and possibly Optician, but does anyone know what my symptoms could mean?

Thanks

It sounds like sinusitis to me. GP visit sounds like a good idea if it doesn't get better in next couple of days.

Is there any pressure in the nose with Sinitis? I'm feeling it mainly behind the eyes and the whites of my eyes look brownish.

For me the pain runs along the eyebrows, just inside the eye socket. Sometimes it comes down my nose and across my cheekbones. It's a classic symptom that it gets worse as you bend forwards. I haven't found anything that works apart from old-fashioned pain-killers. IME GP's won't consider antibiotics until you've had it for 2 weeks as it is most likely viral and antibiotics won't help.

I'm not sure about the whites of your eyes being brownish, but might be a general viral symptom. It is horrid, I hope you feel better soon.
