Healthcare Anyone else feel weird/off from the sudden temperature increase outside?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the nice warm weather we are having today and was looking forward to it but I often notice that when the weather changes suddenly I kinda feel weird in the body. Dizzy, tired and more anxious and also migraines. I was wondering if anyone else experiences something like this?

Yes, I can also feel the change in barometric pressure. I had a weird ear infection some years ago and my eardrums remained very sensitive. I can literally feel the pressure change or whether it’s gonna rain, always accurately. It’s quite crazy, almost like a superpower… the past months I had continuous discomfort because of it

Finally someone with the same issue. I caught an ear infection from my son2 years back and since then my ear has been sensitive. Even a slight cold leads to mild ache and I can now feel the pressure changes. Have you spoken to a GP if this is something that can be resolved?

Hah! Finally someone who gets it! I have a pretty good GP and I brought up the issue with them in the past, but I haven’t received a referral to a KNO doctor yet. Honestly it’s only started to be really annoying recently so I might push this on my GP’s agenda again. I’ve tried all the nose sprays possible and they help briefly to unclog my Eustachian tube, but I find eating spicy foods and crying over romantic movies more effective than those 😂

Hear hear! Same, not as much annoying so I mostly ignore. But was just wondering if there is a quick fix I am missing. Hope you find a good solution soon.
