Blaithin AlbertaFarmer5 headaches due to rapid changes in air pressure?

That is what I understand to be the cause. There is some debate if Chinook headaches are an actual phenomenon or not.

ive got some sort of arthritis in every joint apparently tis hereditary joints ache with incoming weather with large pressure drops sadly nothing I can do dropped sugar dropped alcohol increased meloxicam

I've tried to keep track of what the pressure is when a Chinook is here and I've got a headache vs when there's a Chinook and I don't have a headache.

There hasn't really been a difference.

My head FEELS like it's a pressure issue, but I haven't found a rhyme or reason behind them. They were definitely worse farther into the Chinook zone.

Periodically I'll get the opposite? of a pressure headache. I call it opposite anyway. Where I get light headed and get the spins. Like when you stand up too fast or you lay down when you're drunk. Luckily it doesn't happen often with Chinooks and it doesn't seem to last more than 30-60 minutes because it would be a massive pain if it did.

It is my understanding that chinook winds have positive ions which affect us negatively. I lived in the Calgary area when I was a little kid and whenever a chinook would blow I would get sick to the point of vomiting. As an adult, I just get headaches.

Funny thing, 30+ years ago 30-40 C was no big deal. Today? I'm out past 25. Course, the same applies on the other side. Worked in -50. Now 0 and my hands are done. Oh well, at least I know through experience.
