Cheeks Flushed, Pressure Behind Eyes. Burning Sensation In Eyeballs. BP, Sugar Levels High. Possible Reason?

My cheeks are flushed and I have pressure behind my eyes. Also there is a burning sensation in my eyeballs. I am currently monitoring my blood sugar levels and blood pressure , which are both high. This has all occured primarily within the past three weeks. I have an appointment with an internist 03/07. Are the flushed cheeks and pressure behind my eyes a result of the blood pressure?

The flushed cheeks & pressure behind your eyes could be due to high blood pressure. Pleese have your blood pressure under control.
Is your vision normal. I would like you to have an comprehensive ophthalmic examination.
