"Thunder headaches"

[Ann]

My head is a good weather forecaster, felt dreadful all day, woke up feeling very tired with heavy muzzy feeling in head and thumping headache. I knew it was the weather! Its been thunder and lightning for the past 3 hours so I know its the pressure, anyone know why some people get this thunder headache (as I call it) and not others?

[Sqad]

It's due to changes in air pressure and humidity.

Wht do some people get them and some don't?................no idea.

[Ann]

Strange because the sky is now brightening and air clearing (put my nose outside the door and since this second storm its much less humid now) and I feel a weight has lifted from my head, its most peculiar ............. my family laugh at me, say I'm better than the Met Office! Not nice though ............... :)

I get it too Ann, an awful tiredness comes on me and I need to sleep, it's usually the best sleep I get ever and I hate waking up from it. We've no thunder here thankfully, like you, I'm the only member of my family 'suffers' from them

[Ann]

I feel like your AB name headwreck LOL ;) Was a really hot humid morning here in Leicestershire but so close I felt awful and so drained in town shopping, now been raining on and off since 2.30pm .............but skies brightening :)

[headwreck]

Hopefully you'll be better soon, horrible feeling, been lashing buckets here all day but nothing like thunder in the air, I'm so glad for that

My daughter is the same Ann. She`s suffered headaches all her life and knows when a storm is brewing. I never get headaches but did have a pair of curtains that stuck on the rail when it was going to rain.
Do sympathize. x

Me too.... absolutely evil heads that don't respond to normal pain kilolers. Syndol used to help as they sent me to sleep now use antihistamines for a similar effect.

[Ann]

I've been to sleep and feel slightly better but the sky is getting black again ..... is it just us in the East Midlands getting these storms?

[tinkerbell23]

Very strange! Hope you feel better xxxx

[tinkerbell23]

No thundery here in scotland.....dogs going daft xx

[sophie_1003]

I get headaches too but have been in Birmingham all day and thunderstorms have all about finished now back in my area of Warwickshire!

[Ann]

Good grief, Thunderbolt and lightning .... very very frightening ..............AGAIN! Go away please!

[Ann]

Glad we aren't camping! Next door have just gone off in their caravan :)

A lot of the country seems to be missing the storms. See on here

At the moment our road is like a river and we are building an ark :)

My ears can go funny with menieres in weird weather, not sure if that's from the same thing (Sqad, if you know?). Had thunder and lightening in Manchester but only a bit of rain so far though only just across Manchester it's been flooding and all sorts!

[firewatch]

Im not alone yay!! been feeling rough for days and im waiting for the storm to break, the only day of relief was yesterday because i was out in the rain :)

[Kacee]

I have those too Ann. Thought it was just something that was in my head, if you know what I mean. Had thunder & lightening here, resulting in a stinking headache and a really 'heavy' feeling . Could do with going to bed really, but don't want to miss the Olympics :)
