Can My Sinus Condition Be a Pre-Warning to a Cold or Hot Spell?
 

Many people who suffer from sinus related problems claim that they can practically predict what the weather will be like in the coming days when they have a sinus attack. Although it may sound like a far fetched theory to those who have perfectly clear sinus cavities, it really is quite possible. Barometric pressure has a significant effect on sinuses and as weather changes bring about a change in pressure, your sinusitis may flare up just before cold or hot weather.

Weather, Pressure and Our Sinuses

When there is a storm in the offing or a cold spell is all set to come, the barometric pressure tends to show a dip. A switch from cold to hot weather also has impact on pressure levels. Your sinuses, the air filled spaces in the facial bones, are affected by this change. When barometric pressure changes, your sinuses do not drain properly and this makes them inflamed. As a result, you experience pain around or behind your eyes, near the ears, or down your jaw. You may also have headaches.  

How Barometric Pressure Changes Affect Sinuses

It has been seen that changes in barometric pressure alter the oxygen levels in your body. When this happens, your body tries to normalize the fluctuating oxygen levels by releasing some of the oxygen that is filled in the sinus cavities. But, when the nasal passages are blocked due to inflammation, this release cannot be carried out fully. This trapped oxygen puts pressure on your facial bones, leading to the often painful symptoms of sinusitis.

If you already have sinusitis, barometric pressure changes or the onset of cold or hot weather can aggravate the symptoms quite significantly. This is why many people who have a history of sinusitis can actually sense the approaching cold or hot spell. They may feel increased pressure around the nose, eyes or the jaw line.

Rhinitis and Sinus Problems

People with allergic rhinitis are more prone to severe sinus attacks than others. Some types of rhinitis are triggered by humidity, cold air and several other weather conditions. Such climatic conditions result in rhinitis which, in turn, aggravates the symptoms of sinusitis.

Chronic sinusitis is also triggered by damp weather conditions that often herald a cold spell or a storm. When the weather is set to clear, the pressure in the sinus cavities drops, resulting in relief from the aches in and around the face.
