What to do and what not to do if you have IIH ?

Do more of following -


  • Lose weight.This is the single most important thing to watch.
  • Maintain a regular and healthy life style
  • Control stress and negative emotions
  • Pray. Prayer is the biggest healer.
  • Smile all the time. Ultimately everyone dies. So why not to die with a smile on face instead of tears in eyes.
  • Maintain a peaceful mind. Try it. Keep trying it.
  • Learn yoga, meditation, pranayam and most importantly practice yog nidra.

Do not do following -

 Some food items that are good for normal people might prove to be poison for those suffering from IIH.
  •  No tea, coffee, cold drinks, ice cream, soda
  • No eggs, poultry products, meat, dairy
  • Keep protein consumption low
  • No nuts - peanut, cashew, almond
  • No chillies - red, green or black
  • No alcohol
  • Leafy vegetable

If you are practising yoga/pranayam avoid following -

  • Yoga poses that generate heat inside body and cause increased pressure on eyes like downward dog, shoulder stand, head stand, chakrasana
  • Kapalbhati pranayam
  • Long sessions of anulom vilom pranayam
  • Lesser forward bending and more backward bending
Early morning walks are the best for those suffering from IIH.
