barametric pressure
Jan 22^nd, 2010 at 1:48pm

hey guys
i am in florida and i am in cycle about amonth and a half and i feel like with the change of weather when it gets a bit more moist after a rain since winter it is a bit drier here than normal that i have more uncomfortable days and a bit more times on the o2! any input as to this being a factor i also have had a history of sinus headaches all my life and any humidity gave me headaches im thinking that when in cycle the "beast"kicks in along with the sinus stuff?
thanks guys
anthony

When the barometer goes up so do my hits... Can't prove it, but a lot of others here have noticed the same thing. I think the beast thrives on the barometer.... I live in East Texas where if you don't like the weather - wait five minutes!

I can predict the weather just by the change in the bariometric pressure.

However, a very moist environment that promotes mold, FLORIDA, will do it in a heartbeat for me. I love Florida, but I always dread the mold, especially in the air conditioning systems.

When my son was 7 I brought him to a Neuro for migraines thinking he was surely to young to go through all this pain. He confirmed that pressure was a trigger for a lot of people with migraine. Seems as it would transfer over to clusters. We always know when a big storm is coming because he has a bad one and needs to sleep for a couple of hours.

neuropath CH.com Veteran Offline Same Hit, Different Day Posts: 218	Re: barametric pressure Reply #12 - Apr 4^th, 2010 at 8:18am There also is a theory that barometric pressure and the relationship / proximity to the equator combined have an influence on CH, meaning the closer one is to the equator, the less severely afflicted on is by CH, for seasonality becomes less relevant and barometric pressure more consistent throughout the year.
