Barometric Pressure and Migraines: Why Weather Changes Trigger Headaches and What You Can Do
Manage episode 505149348 series 3310421
In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves unpacks the connection between barometric pressure changes, headaches, and migraines. He explains how shifts in atmospheric pressure affect the joints—especially in the upper neck—by increasing joint pressure and inflammation, often leading to predictable pain during weather changes, altitude shifts, or even air travel. Dr. Taves also discusses why pressure changes don’t mean your headaches are unsolvable and shares practical steps you can take to reduce your risk, including improving neck mobility, managing tension, and preparing for forecasted weather shifts. If migraines tied to pressure changes leave you frustrated, this episode offers clarity and hope.
