Sinuses and the Rain
Rainy weather can have a profound effect on sinus pain and pressure and make common symptoms even worse than usual.
There are a wide range of sinus headache causes that affect adults, but they are often the result of a sinus infection known as sinusitis. This type of infection can be triggered by an allergic reaction, like hay fever. Fungal infections and tumors can cause sinus infections as well as sinus headaches. Changes in barometric pressure and pollen after rain can also affect sinus pain in some people as well.
The barometric pressure in the air changes frequently and without most people noticing it a majority of the time. However, individuals who regularly suffer from sinus headaches and migraines can feel this pressure disproportionately. This is because barometric pressure puts extra force on the body, which is felt strongly in sensitive bodies. This pressure is felt most commonly while physically located in small confined spaces and in the sinus and ear regions of the body. Barometric pressure headache pain can last for a few hours or even a few days.
