The earplugs are called WeatherX
That's exactly what I deal with every week in Denver due to the altitude and mountains. I found a phone app called WeatherX you can download and it will alert you an hour before a big change is coming. They also sell special ear plugs you can get on Amazon and you put them in when you get the alert. It seems to help me unless there's a huge unexpected swing in pressure.
Great questions! Figuring out if barometric pressure is a migraine trigger takes a bit of detective work, but it's very doable.
The best way to start is by keeping a migraine diary. Each day, jot down:
- When a migraine started
- How severe it was
- Any symptoms like sinus pressure, watery eyes, or postnasal drip
- The Show Full Answer
I know every time it's changing because I get a headache. I don't mean to give you a snappy answer - but there you have it. I will look for those earplugs Greg! My ears are killing me today, which is also a side effect.
Triggers often take place 24-72 hours before an attack, so as the migraine team said, the key to identifying them is to keep a log so you can look back when you have a migraine. There's a free weather companion on my site, migraine-master.com, and we include the most common weather triggers in our Daily Ritual tracker for this reason.
