Joint Pain
Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston surveyed 200 patients with knee osteoarthritis and found a link between changes in barometric pressure and ambient temperature and changes in knee pain severity
What is high barometric pressure and how does it differ from the impact of low barometric pressure symptoms that raise your awareness of mysterious joint pain?
"It's not clear why a falling barometer would exacerbate joint pain and arthritis, but studies such as this one confirm that they do," reported Mother Nature. "It could be that barometric pressure affects the viscosity of the fluid that lines joint sacs, or it could be that it triggers the pain responses in the nerve endings of the joint. Either way, it's what your grandma has been saying for years: Some people feel pain in their joints when a storm is approaching."
Some people really can feel atmospheric pressure changes within their bodies.
Those with migraine, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, or osteoarthritis are the most susceptible to extra aches and pains before a storm. You can't control the weather, but understanding how weather changes affect you can help you prevent the worst or make better plans to weather the storm.
These 4 high- and low-barometric-pressure symptoms may help explain why you're feeling a bit off. Paying attention to changing weather patterns and weather symptoms can be a good way to manage your overall health.
