Atmospheric pressure is the pressure above any area in the Earth's atmosphere caused by the weight of air.
Air masses are affected by the general atmospheric pressure within the mass, creating areas of high pressure (anti-cyclones) and low pressure (depressions).
As elevation increases, fewer air molecules are above. Therefore, atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure#Standard_atmospheric_pressure
* Well, it's taken some time for me to put 2 and 2 together because I don't think I used to be sensitive to Barometric change. Evidently, I am now. I have been having headaches that nothing will touch. I live at 4,700 ft. above sea level. I seem to have bad headaches when the barometer reaches 29.9 - 30.1
What I've have found that does work most of the time now is : 2 Excedrin, 2 Benadryl, 1 cup coffee, and a hot neck wrap.
My question is, are we having more pressure than we used to? What is it that has changed in the last 2 years to have this seemingly new headache phenomena. Could it be the same thing that some people experience as ringing in the ears, manifesting as different symptoms?
Also, I live between cell phone towers, Yikes! So, really I don't know what to think!
