Yes, it is definitely something to do with pressure - I get a slight headache whenever a storm is coming, and also after it has finished, which I was told was due to air pressure rising and dropping.
Look upon it as a good way of fooling people into thinking you're psychic... see, you can predict the onset of a storm! Pretty cool huh?

Most of us are aware from our school days how thunder storms are caused, but what of their affects.
Taking into account the mind, body and spirit principle, it is fair to say that we can be affected in more ways than one. If you believe in the auric field, and energy which encapsulates us and is joined to us through the chakra system, nervous systems and the brain. This energy is divided into two specific areas, magnetic and electrical properties - (electromagnetic energy field - aura)
The electrical discharges resulting from the charged ions prevelant within a thunder storm have an affect on the auric field, which stated above is linked to the physical body via the chakra and nervous system - the digestive tract can therefore be affected by the increased ionisation - charged particles inherent within the thunderstorm

I have the same problem but more so with soreness of my joints. I have heard many people that have different reactions to change in pressure including body pain, aches and tooth problems. Since it's all connected it makes sense that our body must sense the pressure change and may act a little different. You may be more attentive to it.

When the air pressure drops as the thunderstorm approaches,the gases in your intestines could expand. This could exert pressure on your intestines stomach and other internal organs,causing pain.

It's associated with a drop in barometric pressure. Some people react differently to drops and rises in pressure. That's the theory, but I don't know if there is any clinical evidence that this is *fact*.

I get nightmare headaches if its going to be stormy.
I've had people tell me that it is to do with there being high pressure, or that there is lots of static in the air.
The pressure idea makes more sense to me (though I don't pretend to be an expert!)

storms are usually associated with low air pressure causing the natural gases in your stomach to expand causing the gurgling and achey tum

You could have a heightened sense of the change in pressure.
