Where can I get more info on the low pressure headache thing? I think I get those, but maybe it's stress. I had a nasty headache for the past 24 hours (finally starting to subside). I seemed to get one about the same time/distance for each of the storms that have come close...
I get low pressure headaches, but I'm convinced it's more about the rate of fall than the absolute pressure. 15 minutes before a bad thunderstorm my head hurts, but I'm usually better about when it arrives.
I would guess I equilibrate as fast as I can. I wanted to hear if anyone has ever heard of anyone doing a PhD or something on rate of pressure drop as an indicator.
No way..about the headaches! I've had one since this morning, as a matter of fact, that's why I haven't been opn the computer..I was laying down, praying for relief! Is there anything you can do about it? I've laways told my husband that I can predict a storm because of the headaches...lol...Now, I know I'm not crazy!
I do agree that it is the changing pressure that contributes to headaches, aching joints, etc., and not where the pressure is at any given time. The aches for me usually happen during the fall and then subside.
Pressure starting to drop again here. Now down to 26.64, new low after holding steady around 26.66-26.68 from around 4 until 9. Highest wind gust now 42, sustained at 29. Storm has gained only .1 of lat since 5. Hope turn starts soon.
