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

Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 46
- Wakening Migraines, fibromyalgia and many sicknesses caused by caffeine: We had a 52-yearold
housewife, 1.67 meters (5 feet and 6 inches) tall, 72 Kilograms (158 pounds) of weight, 3 children,
Brazilian white with one Black ancestor. She suffered the last 40 years with Migraines at
awakening, sometimes at her right and sometimes at her head’s left side. She suffered also with obstructive
rhinitis, chronic dry cough and insomnias. From the last five years she suffered also with
Fibromyalgia, with aches spread at her joints. She used to drink coffee 200 milliliter (7 fluid ounces),
mint tea and caffeinated soft drinks daily. To medicate her headaches she used caffeinated analgesics.
To medicate her insomnia she used two psychotropics. At her ophthalmological exam, we found the
need to change eyeglasses, and intraocular pressures of 20 and 20 mmHg, which is moderately high.
Her eye’s anterior chambers were shallow. The Optic Nerve’s disks presented cups of 0.4/2/0/0.25 and
0.5/3/1/0.5 (cup’s diameter/ cup depth/ lamina cribosa’s pores visibility/ borders edema), which
means small damage from little intraocular pressure rise associated with little Cerebrospinal fluid
pressure rise. We prescribed her new eyeglasses and to stop all caffeine and teas.
After one month, she came to verify her new eyeglasses that she did not use until now. She told us
that she suffered one week with the absence of caffeine, but after that, she is now 3 weeks free from all
her Migraines and the other signs and symptoms, for the first time in 40 years. Even the insomnia became
better. She refers that only remained little aches at her elbows. Her intraocular pressures show
18 and 18 mmHg in both eyes, which means that she will need to examine them each 6 months.
VI-3 – Recurrent Rhinitis with coryza. Rhinorrhea. Running of the nose. Tearing of the eyes.
(lachrymation):
The Fluids Hypertension Syndromes cause two distinct recurrent rhinitis, both usually denominated
as “allergic rhinitis”:
A - The Tearfulness and recurrent rhinitis with coryza, known as Rhinorrhea with lachrymation,
is a consequence of a rise of the intraocular or the cerebrospinal fluid pressures, causing recurrent tearfulness,
which draining to the nose by the lachrymo-nasal duct results in chronic obstruction with
coryza.
B - The Chronic Obstructive Rhinitis, know as Nasal congestion or Nasal stuffiness, is dry, with no
coryza or tearfulness; it is related with the rise of the Cerebrospinal fluid pressure, and we analyzed it
at another point below.
Between 931 patients with some kind of Migraine, we had 252 patients with the coryza (rhinorrhea)
recurrent rhinitis linked with tearfulness.
The 252 patients with Rhinitis with coryza (rhinorrhea) presented:
- 100 patients (39.7%) presented migraines at the wide frontal area;
- 85 patients (33.7%) presented Blepharitis or itching eyes;
- 78 patients (31%) worsened at morning;
- 46 patients (18.3%) with temporal or head-top (vertex) migraines;
- 44 patients (17.5%) with photophobia;
- 42 patients (16.7%) with ocular migraines;
- 41 patients (16.3%) with ocular hyperemia;
- 26 women (15.9% out of 164 women) with menstrual migraines;
- 37 patients (14.7%) with occipital migraines;
- 29 patients (11.5%) with eyelids edemas;
- 22 patients (8.7%) with chronic sneezing;
- 22 patients (8.7%) with nausea and retching, vomiting or colic;
- 21 patients (8.3%) with Chronic cough without any pulmonary lesion;
- And they presented many other signs and symptoms with lesser frequencies.
- Only 10 patients (4%) ache at the ethmoid area.
In these 252 patients with recurrent rhinitis with coryza (rhinorrhea), during examination we
found the following:
- 76 patients (30.2%) presented intraocular pressure of 17 mmHg or more in at least one eye.
