Do I have Glaucoma?

    For the past year or so, I've felt an odd pressure in my eyes. I used to think that it was normal, but sometimes it really bothers me. I've done a bit of research on glaucoma, and apparently you get little halos or blind spots sometimes if you have a certain type of it. I don't notice the blind spots too often, but its well known that this eye disorder creeps up on you. Also, I've had two or three concussions (can't remember =P) in which I suffered some eye trauma, and got those weird rainbow halo things. Right after those concussions, I felt eye pressure similar to what I have right now. Also, I generally have redness around my eyes, sometimes a lot, and when I smoke weed my eyes always get devil's dick red.

    My mother has an eye disorder (which I believe is glaucoma, but I can't be sure) , and shes undergone a couple of surgeries and is currently on epinephrine or something like that.

    Not sure if this is related, but I get teary-eyed like 3 times a day for no particular reason.

    Oh and the last time I went to the eye doctor was like a year and a half ago before any of the concussions, and he said I was fine.

    So before I go to the doctor again, what do you guys think?

    well the doc said you were alrite before the concusions and u say this is happenin after the concusions its prolly because of that. its probably not even any big deal but go to a doctor for sure to get it checked out.

    I already said I was going to the doctor, I was just wondering if anyone who is knowledgeable in glaucoma could enlighten me on the validity of my symptoms.
