What Causes Occasional Pain In Eyes And Head?
Question: The white of my eye is slightly bloodshot and I'm having pain like a strained muscle in my eye when changing focus from near to far objects. I saw an optician who said my eyes are fine and I don't need glasses. Occasionally Im getting pain around my eye socket and a tension like head pain. Any idea what this could be?

I have on and off pain around my nose, eye and forehead, it sometimes runs down to the back of my neck. It's not all the time and is a dull ache not a stabbing pain. I have just split with my partner so I am not sleeping, I'm probably 5 on your stress scale. My mum has heart problems.
Brief Answer:
Stress and anxiety are certain; other 2 factors need investigation
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.
Thank you so much for that information.
I do believe the headaches and eye redness could be due to a couple of reasons, coupled up into the following:
+Stress
+Anxiety
+Sinus abnormalities (not sure about that, but a possibility; need to relate with other symptoms and an X-ray PNS)
+Blood pressure should also be monitored
I am almost sure that stress and anxiety are both major contributing factors, but the other 2 factors will require investigation and further confirmation/ruling out. But please do try and get in touch with your physician for further evaluation and management.
