How Barometric Pressure Changes Affect Chronic Pain
When the barometric pressure falls, it can affect long-term pain in the joints. This is because atmospheric pressure, which is the weight of air around us, might make people with continuous pain feel more intense aches. When the weather is wet or there is a storm coming, many people feel more pain and swelling. This happens because changes in the air pressure affect fluids in our body and around our joints.
Individuals with chronic pain should pay attention to weather predictions and prepare ahead when changes in barometric pressure happen. They might need to change how they handle their pain, maybe use warmth or cooling treatments, and try relaxation methods when there is a drop in barometric pressure.
