Pain behind eyes when moving them

[kfio]

Hi, I saw only one other post on this.  What is it when my eyes are fine to work, but as soon as I roll them, I get excrucuating pain behind the top of my orbit? Does not matter which direction I roll them. The pain is there like under my brow. Touching them with  mild pressure on the eyelids also causes similar pain (I know - then don't do thta!)  Does NOT hurt to blink, hurts less when closed and moving.
I am 50 years old. I wear only 'storebought readers' for computer or reading, with just a 1.5 setting.  Eyes dont' burn or itch much. I do have allergies and take Singulair/zyrtec combo. We cannot get sudafed alone in the stores anymore. (grr)
I did have a very sore neck from sleeping wrong three days ago, but it has subsided. I did have a terrible headache yesterday, but took ibuprofen and it was gone. I drink about 100 oz of water daily, and the only other thing I drink is usually coffee or orange juice. I do have hypothyroid (menopause related) and meinieres (for thirty plus years)
Wondering If I should be calling my OB doc or an opthamologist or an optometrist?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
First consult an ophthalmologist or an optometrist and rule out infection of the eye or eyelid or the possibility of the refractive error to have worsened. The optometrist can check your eye number.
The other possibility is that you have a pinched cervical spinal nerve that is causing referred pain to your forehead.
Sinusitis of the frontal sinus can also cause similar pain. Hence an ENT consult is a must.
Take care!
