Pain In Left Eye When Laying Down. Pressure Reduces When Standing Up. Why Is This Happening?
Hello, I m suffering from severe eye pain in my eyes mainly my left eye, I get these in clusters. But recently I m only getting eye pain in my left eye when I lay down soon as I stand up the pain/ pressure reduces. I m having this every night soon as I lay down at night the pain starts in my left eye, I can t see anything online that backs up or answers this problem, could you advise or explain why this happening to me please?
Hi.. Do you have any visual disturbances as well? There could be an inflammatory process going on behind the eye ball.. Get a detailed eye examination done for vision and retinal evaluation also. If a MRI or CT scan is required, your doctor will advise for that too.. just to rule out any pathology.. But don't worry.. it could be a non specific pain also.. Do some warm compresses which can help you in the meanwhile.. Take care..
