Weather dependent: how to survive the change in the weather

Метеозависимость: как пережить перемену погодыHow to survive the vagaries of nature, and what to do to change the weather to feel like a man?..

What to do if every movement of atmospheric layers of body reacts to painful symptoms.

That heart is beating like crazy, head hurts, joints ache… How to survive the vagaries of nature, and what to do to change the weather to feel like a man?..

Why we react to changing weather?

Whether we like it or not, man is part of nature. This was in the 30-ies of the last century, wrote a famous biophysicist Alexander Chizhevsky, who proved that changes in the earth’s magnetic field do affect living organisms. A considerable influence on our wellbeing have a and the atmospheric pressure fluctuations, a sharp decrease (or increase) of air temperature and movement of air masses. Someone in windy weather migraines are bugged, someone from a sharp warming pressure problems, and someone loses consciousness in the transport before the upcoming storm, says physiotherapist, family doctor Lyudmila Suprun.

Why is this happening?

According to doctors, all of these reactions are due to disorders in the blood vessels, specifically in the functioning of so-called baroreceptors. What the baroreceptors respond? The baroreceptors is the sensory nerve endings and blood vessels, sensitive to the slightest changes in blood pressure and reflex regulating its level. That is the task of the baroreceptors is to adapt the pressure inside the body to the changing moods of atmospheric pressure. So, at higher atmospheric pressure to the level of 755 mm Hg body increases its internal pressure, and lowered to 748 mm – resets.

Healthy people and young children, these processes take place naturally and unobtrusively, but people of more Mature age, whose body is worn out, tired bad habits, unhealthy lifestyle, intake of drugs or burdened by a bad heredity, the baroreceptors do not do their task. And then, in response to fluctuations in the atmospheric column, we get a sharp rise in internal pressure, resulting in the start headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, chills, depression.

Especially much worse-being weather-sensitive people in those days, when the atmospheric pressure increases or decreases very sharply (by 20 mm Hg for several hours).

What to do?

Dependence on the vagaries of nature, the doctors called meteosensitivity. And even completely get rid of it yet nobody managed to adjust his state of health during natural disasters is quite real.

If the dramatic high atmospheric pressure, your body reacts in hypotonic type (blood pressure drops, you feel dizzy, you experience lack of energy, drowsiness, apathy, inability to concentrate), ensure a flow of fresh air and try to sleep (sleep in this case – the best medicine). Try on such days less to push yourself both physically and emotionally. To raise blood pressure will help a portion of black coffee, sweet black tea with 1 tablespoon of brandy or wine bokurano.

People with low blood pressure will help to cheer up the tea with mint and honey, as well as adaptogens: tincture of ginseng, schisandra, eleuterokokka. If in windy conditions you are overwhelmed by a migraine – drink painkillers, wrap legs and lie down to rest.

Try to drink as little as possible, since the extra fluid increases blood pressure and increases the pain. If the weather changes your body is going through at gipertonicescomu (blood pressure rises, heartbeat quickens,possible headaches), try to eliminate from the diet of food containing large amounts of salt (pickles, herring).

Remember, they hold the fluid in the body and that increases blood volume, which contributes to an even stronger increase in pressure.

High blood pressure in bad weather days should be to abandon the caffeinated beverages: coffee, strong tea, energotonik. Instead, drink herbal teas, broth hips, compotes.

In bad days it’s good to include in your diet baked apples, raisins, dried apricots, and bananas. Rich in potassium they not only improve the condition of the autonomic nervous system, but will minimize the effects of adrenaline, which is actively secreted by the adrenal glands.
