Yes David E is right you will not feel the pressure in your eyes. There are simple tests that any optician can perform to check the pressure of your eyes. Having high eye pressure doesn't cause glaucoma, but can be a symptom of glaucoma. High eye pressures can have many other reason besides glaucoma, for example the use of certain medications can cause an increase in pressure. If you are worried go see an optometrist, but it sounds more like migraines to me and a question for your doctor instead.

No the pressure in your eyes is completely separate from any pressure you feel around your eyes. This is part of the reason that we routinely check everyones pressure. Normally the pressure associated with glaucoma can not be felt.
