If you are live in an area where storms are the norm then this post is for you. Sometimes as storms are moving in we wake up feeling stuffy, achy, with brain fog, and just feeling "off". Let me explain why.
Barometric pressure changes can affect your sinuses because the air pressure around you influences the air pressure within your sinuses. When the external air pressure drops it can cause the air trapped in your sinuses to expand, potentially leading to increased pressure and discomfort. This might trigger headaches, sinus pain, and congestion for those who are sensitive to these changes. This also plays a huge part in people getting sick around this time of the year so please don't leave your sinuses struggling. Your body needs to have oxygen in order to function well.
On top of our sinuses being impacted our bodies often feel it for days before the storms arrive. Rapid changes in barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature that often accompany storms can lead to shifts in your body's internal pressure and fluid balance. This can affect sensitive areas like joints, muscles, and even your blood vessels. Just like your sinuses these factors can contribute to headaches, joint pain, and even changes in mood for some individuals who are more sensitive to these changes. It's important to note that not everyone is affected in the same way so please don't give up on yourself and just accept that you have to hurt for the entire storm season.
