My eyes feel like there's a lot of pressure in or behind them, and they hurt. Is that consistent with migraine? 'Cause the other possibilities that jump to mind are kind of scary.
I think so. I happen to have the eye thing going as I write this -- happens as part of the "aura" I get for a migraine. (It's also a sympton of my not getting enough sleep. But that's tied in with the migraines...) I'm feeling pressure on the eye -- almost as if someone were pressing on them, and they so hurt somewhat and feel dry and itchy. (They aren't actually dry -- I could pour a bottle of stuff in 'em, and they'd still feel this way.)
But I've also had the pressure come from behind the eye as well. I think this is just a migraine symptom, and nothing to worry about. If I were in your shoes, I might mention it to my doctor the next time I saw him, but I doubt I'd make a special appointment.
On the flip side, if this is a brand-new symptom, it oculd be something else. But it's not inconsistent with a migraine.
