Compostc Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just wondering if how other people are coping with all the low pressure lately. My brain goes numb and gets worse as the pressure drops. I’m sure I read someone describing themselves as a barometer head, that’s how I feel at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It is something we call "barometer head". The lower the air pressure the worse the head feels. Mine's banging right now and I'm 15 years into recovery. It can be worrying but just remember, when the pressure lifts, so will the headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigglyDog Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I've not heard the term Barometer Head before, but great description. I suffer a lot from low atmospheric pressure, not headaches as such but a basic inability to concentrate or function normally that I think is related to small changes in shunt pressure - I'm probably wrong about this.... Strangely, while all this is going on I'm slightly less deaf thank usual ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLS Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I was so reassured to read this, I'd noticed in the summer that my head hurt when it was stormy but put this down to the humidity not the air pressure but the last week has been a headache week and I hadn't connected it to the weather until reading this. Today has been better but still windy here in Norfolk as well as wet/sleety. Hope everyone else is doing ok? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffodil Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Get a lovely collection of hats is my answer, especially for windy wet weather, it seems to swirl the neurons less. but barometer head is real that’s for sure and a fast drop in pressure will bring on the head fog ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compostc Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just wondered how the barometer heads are today I woke up feeling dreadful this morning, I thought a bit fresh air would help so I took the dog for a walk but it got worse, the dog kept stopping and looking back at me she must’ve sensed I wasn’t well, think I’ll put my feet up for the rest of the day.

DigglyDog Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Likewise, sadly, but I put mine down to overexerting while taking down Christmas decs and lights and so on. I've decided that as the weather is appaling, a duvet day is in order.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLS Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It was a really beautiful morning here and we went for a walk, pretty much out of nowhere it clouded up, the wind picked up and we had a few claps of thunder and a hailstorm. The only warning we had to cut the walk short was the sharp head pain I got out of nowhere - the bbc weather app had only a 5% chance of rain for the day and definitely no warning of a weather front/pressure change. Definitely an afternoon on the sofa after that. Here's hoping the weather settles soon, these rapidly changing conditions are not pleasant. They may not be as extreme as the weather many are experiencing but far more immediately & personally unpleasant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Remember to keep hydrated when the 'Baromitor head hits' doesnt cure it but it helps... take care... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yes. Hydrate! I just had another scare. Stomach bug that resulted in me passing out twice, and hubby called 9-1-1 bc my family thought I was having another hemorrhagic stroke (1st one sept 2022) -but, thankfully, I had a Neg CT. 2 liters of Iv fluid helped. My poor family. They threaten to wrap me in bubble wrap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compostc Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 My wife went out yesterday so I lit the fire and me and the dog lay on the sofa and slept most of the afternoon. I felt so good this morning that I’ve been to work for 4 hours. I don’t think the next ones far away so that’s something to look forward to 😵💫 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
