Chances are that you sometimes feel pain during weather changes, whether it's a headache, or pain on an old wound (for example, by surgery or fracture). If not, then surely you know someone who often complains of pain when changing or someone whose mood can change significantly.
Have you ever wondered why this happens? How is it that changes in the weather can have such a powerful effect on the human body? The question that was asked by Hippocrates 2,400 years ago, and that we still have no concrete scientific substantiated replies. However, there are some theories ...
Why do we feel pain during weather changes?
There is no doubt that weather conditions can affect some people, even a whole scientific field devoted to this phenomenon: biometeorology, a small but diverse group of atmospheric scientists who study how - and why - the weather affects animals, plants and humans.
The idea that some people can "feel" the weather changes before they happen often fall into the category of 'folk tales', or research, although limited, has shown that the weather and the pain still connected. People on which changes have the greatest influence is often called ofmeteor (from the Greek words meteor celestial phenomena; and Pathos, pain, pain), and the term refers to the physical condition or symptom which is associated with the weather conditions, such as humidity, temperature and pressure of the .
In the scientific community there is still no definitive explanation for this phenomenon, but, according to Dr words. Robert Newlin Jamison, professor of psychiatry and anesthesiology at Harvard and a researcher who has studied the effects of weather on the chronically ill, there are several theories.
One of the major focuses on changes in atmospheric pressure, which can be best described as' the weight of the atmosphere that surrounds us. High atmospheric pressure pushes the tissue toward the body and simply does not allow them to expand. But the atmospheric pressure drops often occur before the bad weather conditions. Then lower the pressure of lower power pushes the tissue, allowing them to expand their de - but then expanded tissue pressure on my ankle. "These are microscopic differences and we can hardly notice it unless you feel," says dr. Jamison.
"In addition, when people have chronic pain sometimes nerves can become sensitive due to injury, inflammation or scarring." The nerves are hypersensitive, and since the body can [microscopic] expand or shrink based on external pressure changes - hypersensitive nerves will immediately register the change, mainly in the form of in pain.
Jamison says that no one knows exactly how the weather affects the body, but that for now the most popular theory is that that people with arthritis or other types of chronic pain are overly sensitive nerves that detect pressure change that atmosphere is carried on the body, but most people never i do not notice. In addition, cold and wet weather can exacerbate the pain tightening the muscles and ligaments.
However, the link between pain and weather changes remains only a hypothesis because different studies come to different conclusions. In addition, the results are quite unclear, there is a whole population that claims to weather changes have absolutely no effect on them.
However, we know now that the weather affects some processes in our body, for example - changes in atmospheric pressure changes and our blood pressure, and this can cause a number of further consequences.
