How barometric and sinus, 8 x 10 oils
How barometric pressure affects the sinus.
Your sinuses are cavities containing air in the bones of your head.
If the barometric pressure drops suddenly, as it does often before a storm it could impact your sinuses by partially blocking the sinus passageway.
When your nose is stuffy, the inner linings of your nose are swollen, and the same swelling can block the passageway, slowing the flow to a drip, preventing air pressure inside your sinus from changing to balance the pressure outside, and you can develop a sinus headache.
If your nose is stuffy most of the time and your mucous is clear, you could have an allergy. If thick yellow-green mucous drips from your nose, you probably have a sinus infection. If fluid levels remain in your sinuses, it could be sinusitis.
