Sometimes I wake up and my eyes are fine and later in the day they feel like there is pressure behind them and it just bothers me.
And ummmmm, sometimes I wake up with it.

I am also a bruxer. (teeth grinding while I sleep)

thanx :d

Hi
Yes, I have this quite a bit, like every day! This is what first prompted my trip to e.R.! I had sever pressure behind my left eye and a pounding headache on the same side! They thought I was having an anyeurism- did c.T. Scan, mri etc... It is really the muscle that starts in front of your ear and runs behind you eye, ir makes that pressure feeling and pain. I thought for sure my eyes were popping outof my head for awhile, but now I know what is causing the pain and pressure. I also grind my teeth and have a bad bite from it. Do you have any problems with your vision? When I look at the sky I see a strange swirling pattern that doens't obstruct my vision but is still very annoying. Don't worry, it's all from your jaw, my eye doc. Looked at my eyes twice during my episode befor I found out what was causing all the pressure. I don't know if oyu saw my other post but I also got more floaters in my eyes because of this! Hope this helps! Amanda :)

Ughhh I hate tmj. No I don't get eye floaters thank god I already get tons of stuff from tmj which makes me feel like im losing my mind and depressed. It pretty much sucks. Anyways, so ya I have been grinding now for about 6 months, owww my jaw hurts right now. Mines out of place n stuff too. I used to have like perfect teeth! After 3 months of harsh intense grinding look what it has done to me, physically and emotionally, I am not the energetic girl I was. I can't do the things I could do before, I am in too much pain. If my heads not aching, my jaw is, if its not my jaw, its my eyes, if its not that, its I feel dizzy, if its not that, im worrying about losing my mind.

I hate tmj.

Hopefully getting braces to fix this all up although I know its gonna take more than that.

I hate tmj.
