Contacts can be hard to wear, especially if you're not used to them, and some people's eyes are more sensitive than others. I wore contacts since I was in 5th grade, and those were the hard type; it felt like I had pennies on my eyes when I put them in for the first time, but somehow I got used to them, wore them throughout college, then switched to soft lenses, so much better! After my cataract surgery, I don't need contacts at all just drugstore reading glasses (though I can get by without those in a pinch) and that feels even better.
My middle sister wore soft contact lenses, had Lasik, then was without lenses for awhile, needed corrective vision again some years later, and she tried contacts, and said they were just too uncomfortable, her eyes too dry, she switched to glasses. That's one thing: are you drinking enough water because if you are dehydrated or taking a medication that can dehydrate you (such as mucinex, certain antihistamines such as Claritin, Benadryl). And I'm not sure what blood pressure med you are on but some of those can cause dehydration too. If you are dehydrated, yeah, you will have dry eyes and trouble wearing contact lenses even if you remove them and clean them and put them back in with fresh solution.
