<strong>Fluids</strong> <strong>Hypertension</strong> <strong>Syndromes</strong> – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 45<br />

- 42 patients (33.9%) out of 124 patients with photophobia;<br />

- 1 patient (33.3%) out of 3 with mandible migraines;<br />

- 78 patients (31%) out of 252 rhinitis with coryza;<br />

- 16 patients (29.1%) out of 55 with diffuse migraines;<br />

- 68 patients (28.6%) out of 238 with blepharitis;<br />

- 40 patients (26.1%) out of 153 patients with eye redness (eye erythema);<br />

- 1 patient (25%) out of 4 patients with hoarseness;<br />

- 3 patients (23.1%) out of 13 patients with bulbar sub-conjunctival hemorrhage;<br />

- 2 patients (20%) out of 10 patients with twitching (trembling) eyelids;<br />

- 2 patients (20%) out of 10 patients with visual aura;<br />

- 4 patients (10.3%) out of 39 with Amaurosis Fugax (retinal migraine).<br />

From our 931 patients with <strong>Migraines</strong>, we had 295 patients (31.7%) who wake daily with them<br />

(Table VI-1).<br />

In these 295 patients with awakening <strong>Migraines</strong>, during examination we found the following:<br />

- 139 patients (47.1% out of 295) presented minimal Optic Nerve’s disks edema;<br />

- 85 patients (28.8% out of 295) presented intraocular pressure of 17 mmHg or higher. Out of these 85<br />

patients,<br />

- 21 patients (7.1% out of 295 or 24.7% out of 85) presented intraocular pressure of 22 mmHg or higher;<br />

- 76 patients (25.8% out of 295) presented evident (0.5 diopters) Optic Nerve’s disk edema;<br />

- 30 patients (10.2% out of 295) were suspects of Glaucoma;<br />

- 21 patients (7.1%) presented incipient Glaucoma;<br />

- 14 patients (4.7%) presented advanced glaucoma;<br />

Only 28 patients (9.8%) did not present any of the above Ocular disturbances.<br />

The 295 patients with awakening <strong>Migraines</strong> had the Etiologies isolated or associated:<br />

- 176 patients (59.7%) drank caffeine, as coffee, mate, tea, or soft drinks daily.<br />

- 174 patients (59%) with excessive liquid drinks;<br />

- 114 patients (38.6%) with coffee, mate or tea drinks;<br />

- 104 patients (35.3%) with caffeinated soft drinks;<br />

- 76 patients (25.8%) with beer drinks;<br />

- 61 patients (20.7%) presented shallow eyes anterior chamber;<br />

- 40 patients (13.6%) with medications that raise the fluid pressures;<br />

- 20 patients (6.8%) with wine drinks.<br />

We conclude that all the three <strong>Fluids</strong> <strong>Hypertension</strong> <strong>Syndromes</strong>, the Ocular, the Cerebrospinal<br />

and the Inner Ears worsened on awakening in average 31% of patients.<br />

We conclude that some patients presented only one Fluid <strong>Hypertension</strong> Syndrome, but most<br />

patients presented two or all the three syndromes mixed up.
