heavy eyes
Hello doctor
I feel heaviness above my eyes and it is painful and the pain radiates to my temporal are up to the back of my head. I experience head ache but my eyes really hurts.

You need to go see an ophthalmologist to make sure you do not have narrow angles or (if you are older) temporal arteritis. Once that is done, you could see your regular doctor or a neurologist for a work-up of other types of headaches (migraines, tension, etc).

Hi Doctor,
I think I may have anxiety disorder...I worry all the time about stupid things...can't make a decision and when I do, I ALWAYS have buyers remorse. The latest has been with eye discomfort. I had Lasik 3 years ago and everything has been fine with my eyes.....then I read one of the "doom and gloom" articles about Lasik and how you may have issues with it later in life..etc....so now that this is in head, my eyes are bothering me and I am dizzy and uncomfortable....Is this just mind over matter here? It seems like your eyes can play tricks on you when put your mind to it....Now I regret the surgery (which is irreversable) which adds to my stress.
Thanks!
