Eye test necessary or wasting opticians time?

I think I have something strange going on with my eyes, but I can't remember my eyesight suddenly getting worse, so I'm not sure if it's my imagination, or maybe it's been gradual.
I find what's wrong really hard to explain and I don't want to waste an opticians time by getting a test and it being nothing.
When I'm reading, although it doesn't seem to always happen, I sometimes find myself squinting, the words aren't blurry but I find it can make my head/eyes ache to read and sometimes a word mid sentence can be difficult to see although I can't describe why - the nearest comparison would be similarly to a migraine where blobs cover things, but at the same time not.
I just don't want to go to the opticians and babble about something that isn't a problem, or not be able to explain properly. Should I get this checked, or does it seem petty?
Thank you in advance.
