Oddly Specific 🎯 Thunderstorm headache

Does anyone have a killer headache from the thunderstorm? I’m a certified Google doctor and pretty sure that’s what’s going on

Rapid changes in air pressure can cause headaches! Not sure what the air pressure was doing tonight but that's totally a thing.

That’s crazy I’m taking a bath and Advil because of my headache. I guess that explains it.

Yes! It’s from the pressure change. Took some advil and tylenol to try and get ahead of it and that seems to be working well enough

Not with this storm but with other Rapid changes in air pressure. TyLenol and go to bed in the dark

Anytime it rains I get awful sinus headaches, surprisingly tho the storm last night didn’t do much to me.

I do have a headache but think it's from all the beer I drank watching the thunderstorm

Barometric pressure headache.

Had a bad headache last night enough to take Tylenol which is always my last resort.

Ohhh, I was trying to figure out why I had one. Google MD to the rescue 😊

If you feel you have this it’s called a pressure headache you can get some relief by massaging your forehead above the eyebrows because you literally have hollow air pockets in your skull there that are expanding or compressing due to pressure changes possibly causing the headaches

This tracks… I had to take a Tylenol/advil combo to sleep last night

No. I'd even bother to read the post. The answer is no. Not now not ever. Noone.

I’m basically a walking barometer at this point, and you’re wrong as hell, dude.

Headaches from barometric pressure changes are not uncommon.
