I have always been affected by the barometric changes. I have always had osteoarthritis and we joke that my left knee tells me when it is going to rain and my right knee tells me it is going to snow.
If you live where I do at 4,000 feet and you go to town at 2,000 feet and buy a bag of pretzels. When you get back home to that 4,000 feet that bag is so blown up it appears it will pop. I take a plastic bottle of water up to 6,000 feet, open the bottle, take a swig and then put the lid on. When I get back home at 4,000 feet the bottle is all sucked in. You can actually hear the bottle decompress as you are driving along and changing elevation.
These are just examples of how barometric pressure works. When there is a huge change in the weather the barometer will change and some people are very sensitive to it. Some just don't feel a thing.
You are now a weather person I am guessing. Read that again - GUESSING.
You could also be herxing at the same time and that would be a double whammy. Sorry.
