Hello,
A normal eye pressure can exclude glaucoma. The pressure behind the eye could be related to local inflammation. I recommend performing a brain MRI in case your symptoms persist. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
