Barometric pressure affects a person by altering the oxygen you intake and altering the pressure on the joints and muscles which can lead to fatigue and joint pain and arthritis as well as migraines or headaches.

A change in barometric pressure can make you feel bad and lead to headaches and migraines as well as cause joint pain, lethargy and make you feel tired and fatigued.

The human brain's supply of blood is hyper-sensitive to oxygen changes.

If the oxygen pressure in the air dips, the brain prepares to have more oxygen delivered to it.

It then instructs the body to dilate blood vessels headed to the brain, which increases blood flow.

Thus, you get a barometric pressure headache.

Low barometric pressure can make you tired and lead to lethargy and fatigue and even lead to joint pain.

The low barometric pressure causes fatigue and lethargy as it can decrease the oxygen levels in your body.

Low barometric pressure does cause pain and even high barometric pressure can cause pain.

Less air pressure that surrounds the body can allow your tendons, muscles and other tissues to expand which leads to pain from pressure being put on your joints.

The barometric pressure that causes headaches in most people is 1003-1007 hPa in the approach of low barometric pressure.

Many people experience headaches when the barometric pressure decreases by 6-10 hPa.

High barometric pressure and even low barometric pressure can cause dizziness and even migraines as the barometric pressure changes.

The falling barometric air pressure disrupts your vestibular system which is the cavity in your head that helps you keep your balance and when it's disrupted by the barometric pressure or anything else it can lead to dizziness.

The ideal barometric pressure for humans is between 29.9 to 30.2 inches Hg.

The most comfortable barometric pressure is 30 inches of mercury (inHg).

Normal barometric pressure is between 29 to 31 and anything above that can be uncomfortable for some people.

To tell if barometric pressure is rising or falling you can use a barometer which tells the barometric pressure.

A rising barometer means that the barometric or atmospheric pressure is increasing and a falling barometer means that the barometric pressure or atmospheric pressure is decreasing.

A falling air pressure generally means there is an approaching storm that will arrive within the next 12 to 24 hours.

The farther the barometric pressure drops, the stronger the storm.

Air pressure is measured with a barometer.

The state that has the highest barometric pressure is Northway Alaska which barometric pressure can reach 31.85 in Hg.

The city in the US that has the most stable barometric pressure is San Diego which has very minimal barometric changes and a very stable climate.

The lowest barometric pressure ever recorded was a barometric pressure reading of 870 mb (25.69 in. Hg) that was measured on October 12, 1979 in the eye of Typhoon Tip as it moved over Guam.

The highest barometric pressure can go is 1083.8 mb (32.01 in. Hg) which was also recorded in Agata, Siberia on December 31st 1968.

Altitude decreases with air molecules in the upper layers compressing the layers below them is what makes barometric pressure high.

A barometric pressure reading over 30.20 inHg is generally considered high, and high pressure is associated with clear skies and calm weather

Correct and normal barometric pressure is in the 29.9; range ~29.6 - 30.2 inches Hg (752-767 mm Hg)… at SEA LEVEL!

Any barometric reading in the range of 29.80 and 30.20 inHg can be considered normal, and normal pressure is associated with steady weather.

If the barometric reading falls between 29.80 and 30.20 inHg (100914.4–102268.9 Pa or 1022.689–1009.144 mb): Rising or steady pressure means present conditions will continue.

Adjusted to sea level, a barometric pressure reading that is above 30.2 inHg is considered to be high pressure, and below 29.8 inHg is considered low.

Most of the time, in human-inhabited places, the barometric pressure will stay close to the normal range (29.8 inHg-30.2 inHg), and will rarely exceed 30.5 inHg or fall below 29.4 inHg.

The barometric pressure also known as atmospheric pressure is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.

The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa, which is equivalent to 1,013.25 millibars, 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.

Barometric pressure often drops before bad weather.

Lower air pressure pushes less against the body, allowing tissues to expand.

Expanded tissues can put pressure on joints and cause pain.

When the barometric pressure drops, it can also cause a decrease in oxygen and blood flow to the brain, leading to headaches.

Low barometric pressure can cause fatigue and lethargy, particularly in people who are sensitive to changes in pressure. T

his is because low pressure can cause a decrease in oxygen levels in the body.

The ideal barometric pressure typically falls between 29 and 31 inHg.

This barometric pressure is comfortable for most people and will possibly allow them to live with less joint pain, especially if the area they reside in does not fluctuate rapidly throughout the day or week with barometric pressure readings.
