The mother-of-three spends hundreds of pounds a month on Red Bull
The paper reports that the woman, who is unemployed, spends more than £450 0f her monthly benefits - which total £1,800, on the sugary fix.
Lupari claims she was unaware of the long-term and severe damage she was doing until she collapsed two months ago. Doctors then discovered that she had developed Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) as a result of being seriously overweight and has placed pressure on her swollen optic nerves.
Other common symptoms are severe throbbing headaches.
Medical advisors have said she needs to lose seven stone to manage her symptoms. Since the June episode, the young mother has lost two stone but is now appealing to the NHS for help with losing a further five.
