I'm really not sure if this is where I put this question, but I hope it is. I thought this was kind of weird, and I couldn't find an answer anywhere else on line, but here it is: Just before it rains, maybe when the clouds start getting a little grey and dark, I start having these incredibly intense headaches, Tylenol doesn't do anything, and Exedrin makes them worse. If I try to ignore the head aches, they just intensify, they are the worse while it is raining. However, about ten to fifteen minutes after the rain stops, and they sky clears up, my headaches go away, is there any connection, and if so, what the heck is it? Can the weather really be that influential on a persons brain? This only started about two years ago, for a long time I just ignored it, but after a while it was getting annoying, so I tried to do some research, but didn't find anything.

There is something to this. The Barometric pressure changing can induce a headache. Have you ever been tested for migraine headaches? Sometimes taking a prescription for migraines, early in the onset of the headache, it will prevent the worsening.

A recent study entitled “The Effects of Weather on the Frequency and Severity of Migraine Headaches” conducted in Canada arrived at the following conclusions:

1) “Phase 4″ weather, characterized by a drop in barometric pressure, the passing of a warm front, high temperature and humidity and oftentimes rain, is closely associated with higher frequency and severity of Migraine attacks.;

2) a high humidex discomfort index during the summer is associated with an increased frequency of Migraine attacks;

3) wind from the southeast was shown to be associated with more attacks than wind from any other direction; and

4) a number of Migraine sufferers may be sensitive to extreme rates of barometric pressure changes.

So you are not out of line wondering about this. Ask your doctor, if he or she cannot help you, then ask to be referred to a headache specialist.

Good luck.
