Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 > Do you know any more about barometric pressure sensitivity? > > Sue This has the same effect on me as does heat and humidity. In those who are susceptible (roughly 20% of the population) it will cause arterial dilation. Think of a rubber band that has lost it's elasticity.The 'limp' arteries are not able to 'pump' the blood through the body, so it tends to pool. This is most evident, and problematic, in the lower GI tract. There are a few nutritional supplements that help tone up the arteries, Vit C, Vit B-1, calcium, anything that boosts the adrenals. These would need to be taken hourly, or no more than every 2-3 hours (talking more about the C and B-1 here). Having been dxed with ADD at the ripe old age of 50, I have Ritalin in the house, though I rarely use it. However when I have one of these dilation episodes during the hot season, or because of a low or falling barometer, I will use the Ritalin in small amounts (10 mg, the dose for a 6 yr old) 2x a day for 2 days at most. To start toning up the lower GI tract, peppermint oil caps are wonderful. At these times we should stay away from anything that's known to have a relaxing effect, which is probably most supplements and very definitly alcohol will make the whole thing worse.
