6. Weather Changes: How Atmospheric Pressure and Temperature Affect Migraines
For some individuals, weather changes can trigger migraines. Factors such as barometric pressure fluctuations, temperature extremes, and changes in humidity can contribute to migraine development. While it is not entirely understood why weather changes affect migraines, it is believed that these factors may influence blood vessel dilation and inflammation in the brain.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to control the weather, but being aware of your sensitivity to weather changes can help you prepare for potential migraines. Tracking weather patterns alongside your migraine occurrences can help you identify correlations and anticipate potential triggers. This awareness can allow you to take preventive measures, such as adjusting your daily routine or medication regimen when necessary. (6)
