sinuses and barometric pressure/change in weather

[bakerwoman25]

Can the weather effect your balance and the feeling of pressure in your sinuses and in your head and ears ?

Yes the weather definitely does cause what appears to be sinus pressure. My friends begin to laugh at me and ask me how the weather is going to be because I get terrible heads during weather changes - usually from cold to hot or hot to cold. I normally suffer the most during the hotter months may - september. My head gets so bad that I find it terribly hard to concentrate and always get dizzy. I am on here because I had the worst one yet a few days ago that is causing me to feel constantly dizzy. I can feel the pressure around my face and especially more when breathing through my nose. One find it hard to sleep and walk around and have never had the dizzyness for so long. Usually it lasts for an hour or three or maybe a night but this has lasted for three days now. It occurred on an especially warm day and at the end of that it got signifcantly cooler. WIthin an hour I almost fell over with the dizzy feeling and it made me worry to death all that night causing me to almost have a panic attack. I have suffered with it for many years and it runs in my family (my mum has it as well but in different ways)  and have managed to live with it because usually the doctors dont seem to care or dont understand how bad it makes me feel. For pretty much 1 month of the year I am useless to my employer because I cant concentrate at all. But just to finish where I started, I recognised the weather patterns a long time ago causing my congested heads so in my opinion this definitely is a cause. At times I thought of getting into mediccine and specialising in this area because we seem to be the lost cause of the medicine world. Its hard for them to understand so they basically forget about it.

I have vertigo ,and it seems as though I get most of my vertigo episodes before a rain strom,and /or during a rain strom Also when the humuity is highcould this be true?

I have suffered from major sinus problems......and yes when the weather changes i notice my sinus pressure increases...but just this week i had surgery for my deviated septum and turbinates.......im hoping this will help in the long run with my sinus and allergy problems........

Did it help? I had same surgery a couple weeks ago but my sinus pain with weather is thru the roof. Did you find a solution?

i think it can. i have problems with dizziness (not true vertigo) and pressure in my head radiating from my sinus area. it seems to be worse when "air fronts" and storms pass over. maybe air pressure changes affect people with sinus congestin issues. can anyone confirm this??
