Weather And Temperature May Be Linked to Headaches

Published by healthforself at 6:30 pm under Neurology Edit This

In a recent issue of the journal Neurology, researchers described the weather a as possible trigger of severy headaches. The study gathered information in regards to the environment for 7,054 emergency room patients who were discharged with the diagnosis of headache.  The study discovered a higher ambient temperature was present in the 24 hours preceding a emergency room visit.  A lower barometic pressure was also linked to an increase in headaches.   Though these results are promising, there may be many other factors that can also play a role in causing headaches.

    Great post! Many of migraines are weather related. I can almost predict them with the weather forecast. Great blog!

    Thank you for the comment. It does seem migraines are associated with changes in weather patterns. Weather does play some role, but I do not think it is the main causes.
