Low blood pressure It may be a risk factor for the formation of Glaucoma in patients suffering from migraine. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from St. Petersburg State Medical University. Academician Pavlov headed by Yuri Astakhov. In Russia, from chronic headaches affected several million people. The incidence of urban population is much higher.
Dr. Astakhov learned how level blood pressure day and night may be associated with the development of Glaucoma in patients suffering from migraine. Astakhov argues that migraine is a risk factor glaucoma - A disease that can lead to blindness due to damage to the optic nerve.
We found out that this relationship is more pronounced in patients with glaucoma In which the pressure within the eyeball remains within the normal range, but damage to the optic nerve still occur. Astakhov compared the level of daytime and nighttime systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 12 patients with migraine and glaucoma (in eight was kind of glaucoma as described above) with 16 patients suffering from migraine, but who did not have glaucoma.
"We found that low diastolic blood pressure at night is a possible risk factor for Education Glaucoma in patients with migraine, "- said the Russian scientist. These observations were submitted to it at a meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, held in Chicago.
