Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 140
- Curing all aches (caused by caffeine and excessive water) at one time: We had a 42-year-old
white man, 1.83 meters (6 feet) tall, 125 Kilograms (275 pounds) of weight, fine plastic arts teacher.
He was complaining of aches in his eyes when reading or working; aches at upper nose, bi-temporal
and occipital on awakening; backaches, obstructive rhinitis and aches on his left knee at any hour. He
also presented occasional darkening of his right side of vision, for some seconds each time. He was
drinking coffee 700 milliliter (one and a half pint), mate 1,500 milliliter (near half gallon) and water
3,900 milliliter (more than a gallon) daily. On the examination, we found that he needed eyeglasses for
near vision; he presented intraocular pressures of 16 and 16 mmHg (physiologic) and physiologic anterior
chambers. His Optic Nerves on direct ophthalmoscopy presented 0.5/3/1/0.25 at both eyes (cup
diameter/ cup depth/ Lamina cribosa's pores visibility/ borders edema). All of this configures a
Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension Syndrome (even with small Optic Nerve’s borders edema), together
with some Ocular Hypertension Syndrome. We prescribed his new eyeglasses, to stop all caffeine, and
to reduce the excessive water drank.
After one month, he returned 2 Kilograms (4.4 pounds) lighter and without any of the previous symptoms,
to show us his new eyeglasses. His intraocular pressures were 14 and 14 mmHg, a little smaller
than before. As he cured from all complaints, he probably will only needs medical advice again when
he will need new eyeglasses again.
We conclude that all the above Risk Factors can raise the Intraocular, Cerebrospinal fluid and
Inner ears fluids’ pressures. When the patient has two or three risk factors together, they cause
the migraines of the Fluids Hypertension Syndromes, and so they become Etiologies.
The Caffeine effect on the Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension Syndrome Migraines:
As caffeine was the main migraine’s etiology on our patients, in order to detect its influence in the
Cerebrospinal Hypertension Syndrome, we made the same above statistic removing all patients that
drank any amount of caffeine, as in coffee, tea, or soft drinks.
We found (Table XI-6):
