Go to an optometrist, which you should do every two years anyway. They can pick up many more diseases and conditions than just those of the eyes.
or if you have glasses, put them right in front of your eyes horizontally, straight up your arms, then turn it in 90 degrees(no matter which direction), if the object(it could be anything) squeezes or expands then you have astigmatism.
