🌡️ BAROMETRIC PRESSURE 101
Hey there my sensitive little storm potatoes 👋 if you’re feeling cranky, achy, dizzy, foggy, or like you’ve been hit by the world’s slowest dump truck the last day or two, it might not be you… it might be the air pressure.
Here’s the deal: the atmosphere is basically a giant invisible blanket of weight pressing down on us. When that pressure drops quickly ahead of a storm system like it just did, your body notices. And for a lot of folks, that’s when the fun begins:
🤯 Migraines/headaches
🦵 Joint pain and arthritis flare-ups
🤧 Sinus pressure and congestion
😴 Fatigue and “weather hangovers”
⚖️ Mood dips, dizziness, or balance issues
🧠 FYI: anything over 0.20 inHg (~7 mb) in 24 hours is usually when the body starts throwing a tantrum.
💡 Tips to ride it out:
Hydrate like you’re prepping for a marathon.
Limit caffeine/alcohol (they’ll make symptoms worse).
Keep your routine steady, sleep, meals, movement.
And if you’re prone to migraines or sinus pain, consider pre-treating before the pressure bottoms out.
So next time your knees predict rain before I do, now you’ll know why 😆 This isn’t “in your head” it’s literally in the air.
This is a way I add value. Have been for years and will continue my commitment to awareness and education on how weather and changes in pressure impact our health.
K thanks bye 👋🏼
