Headache and magnetic storms. Is there a connection?

In recent days, powerful magnetic storms have been observed, which can cause a number of symptoms in sensitive people. Do they really affect human health and well-being? What to do if you feel unwell during this period? We answered these and other questions in the article.

According to scientists, magnetic storms are strong non-periodic changes in the Earth's magnetic field. Oscillations of the magnetosphere are formed under the influence of active plasma flows emitted by the Sun. The plasma is constantly seething and boiling, flares and eruptions occur on the Sun, during which charged particles are ejected into interplanetary space, forming the solar wind.

Electrons and protons reach the Earth in 2-3 days. Interacting with the magnetic field of our planet and charged particles already present in the magnetosphere, they can cause various phenomena, such as the northern lights, geomagnetic storms and weather instability. During magnetic storms and solar flares, the ultraviolet radiation of the Sun intensifies. Also, when solar particles reach the Earth, weak infrasounds are formed in the atmosphere, which affect living organisms.

As for human health, based on WHO statistics, it was found that during a magnetic storm, the number of people seeking medical help for cardiovascular diseases increases. There are also suggestions that chronic diseases worsen during this period.

Who is at risk?

Scientists agree that geomagnetic storms affect everyone, but some have more pronounced symptoms, while others simply do not notice them. People who notice poor health, headaches and pressure "jumps" are usually called "weather-dependent". Weather dependence is not a disease. People who are exhausted by the modern pace of life, suffering from cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases and other serious ailments are especially susceptible to changes in the synoptic situation and fluctuations in the magnetic field.

If there is a reaction of the body to the weather or magnetic storms, it is best to simply undergo a series of examinations and consult a doctor. Most often, with the right therapy for the identified concomitant diseases, meteosensitivity goes away.

Causes of the body's reaction

A healthy person does not feel discomfort with a sharp change in environmental parameters within one climate zone, since the adaptation mechanisms in his body function normally. Accordingly, in a physically or mentally exhausted person, whose mechanism of adaptation to changing weather conditions is upset, the active impact of magnetic fluctuations on the human body is especially increased.

What worries during magnetic storms

When magnetic storms rage, people can experience different effects. Based on statistical data, it can be said that during a magnetic storm, the number of people seeking medical help with cardiovascular pathology increases. There are also suggestions that chronic diseases worsen during this period, although this topic has not been sufficiently studied and there are no authoritative medical studies here. However, most complaints are about headaches and muscle pain.

What to advise people suffering from meteosensitivity

If there is a reaction of the body to the weather or magnetic storms, it is best to simply undergo a series of examinations and consult a doctor. Most often, with the right therapy for the identified concomitant diseases, meteosensitivity goes away. Patients who note a headache should not endure and wait until it “goes away on its own.” And most importantly, urge them not to program themselves for poor health during magnetic storms. Just as all existing symptoms cannot be attributed to the influence of solar flares.

What drugs should be prescribed to alleviate the condition

Since there is no such diagnosis in medicine, there is no treatment. But there are recommendations for those who are at risk.

For severe headaches and migraines, painkillers can be recommended. The drug “Forsil Express” manufactured by NIKA PHARM contains the main active ingredient - ibuprofen.

"Forsil Express" - a modern remedy for pain relief

"Forsil Express" is a drug belonging to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is widely used to relieve pain of various origins, as well as to reduce temperature and eliminate inflammation.

The main active ingredient of the drug is ibuprofen, which has a combined effect:

• Pain reliever - effectively relieves pain, including headaches, toothaches and muscle pain.

• Anti-inflammatory - eliminates inflammatory processes that often accompany chronic or acute diseases.

• Antipyretic - reduces elevated body temperature, easing the general condition of the patient.

The drug is available in the form of fast-acting capsules, which ensures:

• Rapid absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

• Maximum concentration of the active substance in the blood after a short period of time.

• Long-term analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Advantages of "Forsil Express" -

1. Speed ​​of action: due to the liquid form of the active substance inside the capsule, the drug begins to act within 15-30 minutes after administration.

2. Safety: has less pronounced side effects from the gastrointestinal tract compared to other NSAIDs.

3. Wide range of applications: suitable for the treatment of many conditions accompanied by pain, inflammation or fever.

4. Suitable for children over 12 years old: due to the safe profile of ibuprofen, the drug can be used by adolescents and adults.

The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years old: 1 capsule (200-400 mg of ibuprofen) up to 3 times a day. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 1200 mg. It is taken after meals to minimize the impact on the gastric mucosa.

The drug is intended for short-term use. If symptoms persist for more than 3 days, you should consult a doctor.

It is not recommended to combine Forsil Express with other NSAIDs to avoid increased side effects.

Forsil Express is a reliable remedy for rapid pain relief and inflammation relief. Due to its high speed of action and favorable safety profile, the drug is ideal for people leading an active lifestyle who want to quickly get back to normal.
