Pressure under left eye? Please help.

[ewoksblow]

Hello, My left eye feels like, it sticks out more then the other, and feels like it has some pressure under it. It makes me nervous, I get a bit, paranoid about the health of my eye's. I have not been to the eye  doctor this year, but I plan to make an appointment Monday. I have had this feeling, at least since last year and I had my eye's checked and my doctor said they were fine, though I have never told her about the pressure etc. I am nearsided and have TMJ and pretty bad sinus problems, can any of these problems be the cause? Could it be glacoma? Should I be worried? Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I  do plan to call my eye doctor Monday. Should I be worried, could it be a tumor? Sorry for all the questions, just really nervous. I'm I have had this problem for a least a couple for years and I see my eye doctor every year. Thank you.

Most patient with glaucoma have no symptoms.  Sinus problems can be associated with your symptoms.  However, you need an eye exam as scheduled.
