Stop Pressing

If someone is hurrying me to finish up some job, I might say:

"Stop pushing!"
"Stop pressing!"

Is the second answer correct?

Thank you Aspara Gus!

I think I made an error in the first post:

"Stop pushing!"
"Stop pressing!"
"Stop pushing me!"
"Stop pressing me!"

How about these?

It's better with the object (me), but in casual speech, it may well be dropped.

If someone said to me Stop pressing me, I'd wonder if I were accidentally pressing against him with my body.
