<strong>Fluids</strong> <strong>Hypertension</strong> <strong>Syndromes</strong> – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 63<br />

- 19 patients (29%) felt Ocular migraines.<br />

- 19 patients (29%) had blepharitis consequent to fingers rubbing the eyes.<br />

- 15 patients (23%) had tearfulness or rhinitis.<br />

- 15 patients (23%) presented Nausea and retching or vomits.<br />

- 13 patients (20%) presented Photophobia.<br />

- 10 patients (15%) presented eye redness (eye erythema);<br />

There were other signs and symptoms with lesser frequencies, and:<br />

- 2 patients (3%) presented Otitis,<br />

- 1 patient (1.5%) presented buzzing.<br />

These 65 dizziness - vertigo patients had the Etiologies:<br />

- 46 patients (71%) drank too much water, with an average of 3.3 liters daily;<br />

- 40 patients (61.5%) drank caffeine, as coffee, tea, mate or soft drinks daily.<br />

- 29 patients (45%) drank caffeinated soft drinks;<br />

23 patients (35%) drank coffee, mate or tea;<br />

16 patients (24%) drank beer;<br />

- 13 patients (20%) took medications that raise the fluids pressures;<br />

- 7 patients (11%) drank wine.<br />

In these 65 patients with dizziness - vertigo, we found the following during the examination:<br />

- 54 patients (83.1%) presented some Optic Nerve’s borders edema (29 minimal and 25 evident). From<br />

those 25 with evident Optic Nerve's borders edema, 13 patients presented also peri-vascular white<br />

sheaths around the Optic Nerve disk vessels.<br />

- 15 patients (23.1%) presented Glaucoma, distributed as 6 suspects, 7 incipient, 2 advanced glaucomas;<br />

some of these suspects of Glaucoma also were included with the minimal Optic Nerve’s borders<br />

edema.<br />

- Only one patient (1.5%) had nothing at her ophthalmological exam, supposed to be a pure Inner Ear’s<br />

disease. She was a 69-year-old woman, with hypertensive heart disease, who drinks 2.000 milliliter of<br />

water, medications, caffeinated soft drinks and coffee daily.<br />

We conclude that in 64 from our 65 dizziness - vertigo patients, the Inner Ear’s <strong>Fluids</strong> <strong>Hypertension</strong><br />

Syndrome occurred together with one of the other two <strong>Fluids</strong> <strong>Hypertension</strong> <strong>Syndromes</strong>.<br />

Curing <strong>Migraines</strong> and dizziness - vertigo caused by stress, caffeine and excessive water: We<br />

had a 34-year-old, mulatta, 1.50 meters (4 feet and 11 inches) tall, 68 Kilograms (149 pounds), one<br />

child, office cleaner. She used to daily drink around 17 glasses of`300 milliliter each one, of juices and<br />

water, plus around 10 small cups of coffee with 50 milliliter each, added by one or two glasses of cola<br />

soft drink, for years. The total daily liquids drank was around 6,100 milliliter (1.5 gallon). Three<br />

months ago, stressed by monetary troubles, she began to present bi-temporal “pressure” headaches<br />

and sudden dizziness, many times a day. Some days she was better, but got worst suddenly one week<br />

ago. The clinician medical doctor found “all normal” with her health. In her eyes, we also found “all<br />

normal”, with intraocular pressures of 12 and 12 mmHg both eyes, and Optic Nerves’ cups 0.2/2/1/0<br />

(cup diameter/ cup depth/ lamina cribosa’s pores visibility/ borders edema).<br />

She became better only reducing her water and caffeine drinks, added at the first week by oral Acetazolamide.<br />

This was a very rare pure Inner Ears’ <strong>Fluids</strong> <strong>Hypertension</strong> Syndrome, caused by stress, excessive water<br />

and caffeine. As she was young and was medicated in time, she will not develop the definitive damage<br />

of Labyrinthitis.<br />

VI-15 – Recurrent or Chronic cough without any pulmonary lesion:<br />

We collected 62 patients with recurrent “dry” cough, with multiple diagnoses and medications but<br />

without cure.
