Test: Do You Have Weather Sensitivity?

Weather sensitivity test. Does your well-being depend on the weather? Symptoms of weather sensitivity and methods of its prevention

If you learned about the approaching cold weather not from the weather forecast, but from your own knee, this test is not for you. But if you still haven't decided whether you have weather sensitivity - welcome! 10 questions will help determine whether you are okay with adapting to changing environmental conditions.

It is known that about 75% of magnetic storms are accompanied by an increase in the number of hospitalized people with cardiovascular and nervous diseases. The number of myocardial infarctions, lesions of cerebral vessels and even suicide attempts during this period increases by 1.5 times. Such a side effect can occur a day before the onset of a magnetic storm and last up to 2 days after its end. Blood studies have shown that a magnetic storm can affect the viscosity of blood and the speed of blood flow. That is why, during the period of magnetic storms, people with cardiovascular problems are recommended to take special care of their health.

A change in the weather (in particular, a cold weather) can cause headaches and migraines: blood vessels narrow, blood flow to the brain decreases. Also, people with migraines react to approaching frosts, rains, and storms: if you notice severe throbbing headaches during this period, be sure to tell your doctor about it.

 

A sharp cold can cause a spasm of the muscles of the respiratory tract, which causes shortness of breath and coughing. This has a particularly strong effect on people with bronchial asthma. Sometimes, in such cases, doctors recommend wearing a mask that slightly warms the air before it enters the lungs.

 

While scientists do not have conclusive evidence that cold or wet weather causes joint pain, there is a theory that this change in weather reduces pressure around the joints, causing pain and discomfort. Another theory says that cold weather causes contraction of muscles, connective tissue and ligaments, indirectly affecting the surrounding nerves. To avoid pain, doctors recommend physical exercises that reduce the additional load on the joints.
