hey guys, i thought i'd wander off into your corner. i have a bit of a problem that i'd like to get some information about before i go see the doc. maybe some of you can provide some insight as to what the problem might be. a little history, this has been happening on and off (mostly off) for about.. 4 years or so. what happens is that there is some pressure buildup in my left eye, usually after i yawn. if i palpate the lateral side of the eyeball with my finger i'll usually feel a tiny bit of pain. it almost feels as if my eyeball wants to burst. sometimes its really bad, other times its not. i did a quick search and found it could possibly be glaucoma. i'm only 26, is this something common for someone my age? since i'm in dental school, i havent been getting much sleep but its happened in the past when i've had way more sleep. any ideas? thanks in advance!
