Fluids Hypertension Syndromes: Migraines, Headaches, Normal ...

Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 135
The patient with patent foramen ovale is lifelong prone to suffer the signs, symptoms and sicknesses
of the Fluids Hypertension Syndromes, more than other people without this cardiac damage.
It is possible to cure many patients with migraines, surgically closing their patent foramen ovale: “In
patients with migraine with aura, percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure reduced the frequency of
migraine attacks by 54% per month, and in patients with migraine without aura by 62% per month. Patent
foramen ovale closure did not have an effect on headache frequency in patients with nonmigraine
headaches.” (Schwerzmann M, and others).
We suppose that the same curative effect can happen on some patients with glaucoma, some brain
diseases, and on many other fluids hypertension diseases, only occluding the patent foramen ovale in
the patients. Is it possible to prevent its occurrence?
The etiologies that are already known for the patent foramen ovale, are:
- Consanguineous marriage.
- Maternal smoking. (Kallén K).
- Congenital heart disease among parents.
- Maternal alcohol consumption during the first trimester of pregnancy.
- Maternal exposure to chemicals at work during the first trimester of pregnancy.
- Fever (greater than or equal to 38 degrees C) during early pregnancy. (Tikkanen J and Heinonen O P).
- Paternal age younger than 20 years and older than 35 years. (Olshan A F, and others).
Because the migraines happen so when the fluid pressures rise, and so when the fluid pressures reduce,
there are patients with patent foramen ovale without migraines, who develop migraines after their
foramen occlusion:
“There are paediatric patients with atrial septal defect who may dramatically develop migraine symptoms
with or without aura following percutaneous correction of their defect.” (Fernandez-Mayoralas D,
and others).
XI- 30) – Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: The chronic airways obstruction causes respiratory
insufficiency when sleeping. This causes low oxygen (O2) (hypoxia) and excessive carbonic gas (CO2)
in the lungs and in the arterial blood. This causes arterial vasodilation in the brain and in the eyes, with
consequent blood serum exudation, resulting in Cerebrospinal and Ocular fluids pressures rising, causing
glaucoma when sleeping and migraines at awakening. This is a pathophysiology similar to the cardiac
patent foramen ovale. There is no aura because the patient is sleeping during the hypoxia.
“Awakening headaches are associated with obstructive sleep apnea. These headaches are of brief duration,
and their occurrence and severity increase with increasing obstructive sleep apnea severity. Treatment
of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
can reduce these headaches.” (Loh N K, and others).
The Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension disturbs the nerves that control the respiratory system, and it
worses the Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The Obstructive Sleep Apnea also causes the Cerebrospinal Fluid
Hypertension. This is a vicious cycle that can cause definitive damage, as in the brain and as in the
eyes.
XI- 31) – Aging: From all the above statistics, it is evident that the Fluids Hypertension Syndromes are
age-dependent, because:
a- The aches and most other signs and symptoms are stronger on the youth people, and with aging
they fade away.
b- Many drinkers from beer, wine, caffeine or excessive water tolerate them well for many years, but
with aging, one day the intolerance arises or increases, and from that date on the drinks can cause the
Fluids Hypertension Syndromes or the caffeine poisoning.
