Question: Hello my name is XXXXXXX I have been experiencing pressure and pain in the outer upper right eye. This pressure seems to be coming right around where my tear gland is. This is been happening for about three days. I am not wanting to go to and optometrist if I don’t need to. When I take Advil it feels OK yet I still feel like there is pressure in a little lightheadedness behind my eyes. It is not getting any better when myAdvil wears off it doesn’t feel very good.
