Meteo-sensitive people know what we are talking about - that feeling when you are all broken. The atmospheric pressure can be very hard on some of us. Let us observe the way it works and what to do to make it better.
The fact that we do not see the air does not mean that it is not physical. If we did not have our own pressure, it would destroy us. Our blood pressure depends on the atmospheric pressure. We have special vessel receptors responsible for this connection. They are called baroreceptors and help our body adapt to the changing weather conditions.
If you are healthy, they work without any problems and you do not even notice the atmospheric pressure fluctuations. But if you have hypertonia or hypotonia, they don’t as they’re supposed to. As a result, you feel severe headaches, nausea or eye flashes. Our chronic pathologies will flare up and you will feel generally sick.
So is this headache a nerve pain? Not exactly. The pain is the result of a complex work of the brain receptors to get our vessels ready for fluctuations and to control the blood pressure. It is a long chain where if one thing fails, everything suffers.
If you experience this problem, take measures to protect yourself. Monitor the weather forecasts. If they say there is a high atmospheric pressure expected, reduce the water you drink and the salt you put into your food. Salts hold liquid in the body and your arteries will not thank you for this. Prefer caffeine to herbal drinks and you will feel much better.
But it’s not just high atmospheric pressure that may bring you problems. Low pressure is also hard for meteo-sensitive people. Your vessel receptors may reflect the outside pressure, but eventually the pressure level will increase. If this applies to you, coffee is your friend, not enemy. Adaptogens will be also a good idea but only if prescribed by your doctor.
To reduce meteo-sensitivity, rearrange your lifestyle. Treat your chronic diseases, bring in physical exercises and leave enough time for sleep and rest in your daily schedule. Massage and physical therapy may be helpful, but consult your physician before to determine the risks.
