Between my forehead and under my eyes I have pain

I have been diagnosed with astigmatism and lately i've been seeing little dots and lines while looking a something. I dont' see them all the times but sometimes I do. My left eye has been really giving me problems it feels like something is behind my eye like eye crud or something and I can't get it out. Now it feels weird like a lot of pressure or something. It switches from eye to eye. Could it be sinuses or something. Right this very second I can feel pressure in between my eyes. but my eyes feel weird like as my eyes are open I feel them getting low. that seems to ease some of the pressure. But it's still there. I also have a bit of a headache. Can you please tell me what's going on. My nose is clear but above my nose like the  it feels stuffy.

the pressure feeling could be sinuses, yes.  could also be "asthenopia" or eye/head discomfort caused by your astigmatism correction.

the occasional "dots" are probably floaters (intraocular debris) if they are small & black or grey.
