Is it true that earth's pressure affect people (e.g. if it'sgoing to rain, some people get's a headache)?

Question

some scientific explanation to this?

Answer 1

I have heard that is true, but I can't prove it sorry.

Answer 2

The whole front of your face is actually pretty will taken up with sinus - airways that filter the air before it gets to the lungs. They are behind your eyes and cheeks, and above your teeth.

A headache is usually caused by swollen bloodvessals in these areas.

People with sinus trouble usually can not clear or drain them completely, part of it gets blocked off. So that part acts like a balloon.
If the air pressure increases, it's squeezing that balloon. That will put more pressure on the sinues in that area.

Lowered pressure, expands the balloon, expanding the sinues and can cause pain.

You may have felt somewhat that effect if you ever had your ears "pop". Its equalizing the air pressure in your ear with that around you.

Answer 3

The increased moisture in the atmosphere during monsons affects the snews. Rheumatic patients can gauge the approaching rains without a single cloud inthe sky because of the rise in the moisture in atmosphere.Asthama patients also have violent seizures during this period. The inner year is also sensitive and, especially if there is an internal injury,the head becomes heavy and starts aching.A rain day is called 'durdin'(bad day) in Sanskrit poetry.

Answer 4

I have peripheral neuropathy and I always know two or three days before a storm, because it hurts much worse because of the change in pressure. The pressure is caused by the weather patterns though, not the earth. check the following studies for more information.

Answer 5

It affects my husband. He can tell if it is going to rain by the way he feels. Can't give you any scientific explanation though.

Answer 6

I really believe that weather has a high in pact on peoples heath...I've worked in a nursing home for over 7 years....when the weather is about to turn cold/rain...Many of our residents complain of their arthritis hurting worse than usual. Changes in weather does cause more aches and pains...

Answer 7

FUN EXPERIMENT: Hold your arms out at your sides like an airplane. Hold it for as long as you can.

Do you notice how your arms get heavy? Basically its the pressure of air that your holding up. Ever notice how on gloomy days you just feel bad when you wake up? The pressure is different and causes your body to feel heavy and you to feel gross.

Answer 8

Quite often, rain accompanies a low pressure system's arrival. But not always, so there can be a lot of "false alarms".

Heck, just getting old hurts!

Answer 9

Some believe that the change in barometric pressure before a storm can affect them. Aches, pains, arthritis flare-ups, who knows.....

Answer 10

I think it absolutely true because we have had some storms come through the last few days and I have had headaches almost continually. Although I not a meteorologist.

Answer 11

When the barometric pressure changes it can cause swelling the human body. This causes pain. My elbow visibly swells with changes in barometric pressure.
