Symptoms and causes of weather-related headaches (barometric pressure headaches)

The mechanism of weather-related headaches (barometric pressure headaches)​

There are old sayings about the relationship between weather and physical condition, such as old injuries aching on rainy days. Among the various physical ailments caused by changes in weather, those related to "pain" are called "weather-related pain." In particular, headaches caused by changes in weather (atmospheric pressure) are called "weather headaches" or "low-pressure headaches."

The human body can experience stress due to changes in weather and atmospheric pressure. In particular, changes in atmospheric pressure can cause the inner ear and autonomic nervous system to react sensitively, leading to the dilation of blood vessels in the brain and the occurrence of edema (swelling) in tissues, which is thought to cause weather-related headaches.

Differences from a typical headache

Differences from a typical headache
Migraine
This type of headache, characterized by a throbbing pain, is caused by the rapid dilation of blood vessels in the brain. It is more common in women and is thought to be influenced by stress relief or fluctuations in female hormones.
tension headache
This type of headache, characterized by a feeling of tightness throughout the head, is caused by mental stress or tension in the shoulder and neck muscles. It is seen in a wide range of age groups and is common in both men and women, and can occur repeatedly or chronically.

Weather-related headache * Low pressure headache

This is a type of migraine or tension headache that is caused by changes in weather or atmospheric pressure.
It is believed that the condition develops when the inner ear and autonomic nervous system react sensitively to changes in atmospheric pressure, causing blood vessels in the brain to dilate and tissue edema (swelling) to occur.

Voices of people suffering from weather-related headaches (barometric pressure headaches)

On cloudy days, I get a headache all day and can't work!
I take painkillers, especially during spring and the rainy season, because my headaches are particularly severe during those times.

I'm worried that if extreme weather events become more frequent, my headaches will get worse.
Headaches are more likely to occur before it rains or on cloudy days.

Characteristics of Goreisan

Characteristics of Goreisan

"Goreisan" is a traditional Chinese medicine consisting of five herbal ingredients: four herbs effective against edema (swelling) and fluid imbalances (localized fluid retention), plus cinnamon bark, which promotes blood circulation and has analgesic effects. It regulates the body's overall fluid metabolism and improves headaches, swelling, and other symptoms through its analgesic effects.

Goreisan is a cause of weather-related headaches (pressure-related headaches).
approach

Goreisan addresses the cause of weather-related headaches (barometric pressure headaches).

Weather-related headaches are thought to be caused by changes in atmospheric pressure, which lead to the dilation of blood vessels in the brain and the occurrence of edema (swelling) in the tissues.
Goreisan is effective against headaches caused by unavoidable weather (atmospheric pressure) changes, by improving (1) local edema (swelling) which is the cause of pain (nerve compression), (2) promoting blood circulation, and (3) providing analgesic effects.

Interview with Dr. Takashi Nishimoto
"How to cope with weather-related headaches"

Many patients report feeling heavy or sluggish in their head or body, or experiencing headaches, before it rains or as a typhoon approaches. Even those who have suffered from headaches caused by changes in atmospheric pressure and humidity for many years sometimes only realize their headaches might be "weather-related headaches" after we ask them about their connection to the weather.
In such cases, it may be helpful to use a barometric pressure forecasting app to understand the relationship between your headaches and barometric pressure as a diagnostic aid. For example, there is an app called "Zutsu-ru" that predicts barometric pressure, notifies you when a headache is likely to occur, and allows you to easily record symptoms such as pain. Also, the herbal medicine Goreisan is very effective for weather-related headaches, so taking Goreisan when you feel something is wrong and seeing if the headache subsides can be an effective diagnostic treatment. Of course, there are various causes of headaches other than weather-related headaches. Although rare, in some cases, organic brain diseases (such as brain aneurysms or brain tumors) can be the cause, so if your headaches persist or the severity and frequency of the pain gradually increase, please consult a doctor.
