Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with pressure behind your eyes as well as inability to close the left eye properly with a history of migraine I am suggesting that you have the following differential diagnosis

Myopathy
Cranial nerve palsy

In view of this please check your blood pressure and see an ophthalmologist specialist for holistic clinical assessment Councelling and adequate drug prescription

Regarding the causes of migraine headache they are as follows

Moreover please do a CT scan to rule out the above conditions and see a neurologist specialist for expert management
However take some analgesic pending your appointment
