What Causes Pain Behind Eyeball When Moving Head?

Hi I have recently in the last few weeks developed a pain which feels like is coming from behind my right eyeball I cannot pinpoint where exactly. The pain occurs intermitently and most often when a sudden change of direction or head movement takes place e.g. while sitting if I put my head down to pick something off the floor. Do you have any ideas what this could be or a reason for this I am really worried it could be something bad?

Hi !
If such a situation arises with a case in my chamber , I will suggest after vision check up, measure the BP and eye pressure and see the fundus.
If these things are ok, I may suggest to try paracetamol tabs first. If no relief then Rizatrip tab (10mg) sos orally for severe pain.
Thanks.
