Suggest Treatment For Headaches And Pressure Sensation In Eyes
My 22 year old son is out of town and is experiencing headache s and significant pressure on one of his eyes. He lives in Reno, NV. but he is two hours away from a Kaiser hospital which where our insurance is. He has tried to find an urgent care, but they are not open. Should he go into a local emergency room? He said he could drive home tomorrow. Any suggestions?

Hi,
As there are headache, pressure sensation in the eye, it may be high blood pressure.
If there is defective vision, then it may be retina problem, optic nerve problem or glaucoma.
He must consult local ER as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
