Headache, Circulatory Problems and Co: Are weather complaints female?
In certain weather conditions or a change in the weather, many people react with physical complaints such as circulatory weakness, headache, dizziness and nausea. Especially women are weather-sensitive, it is said in the vernacular. Is that true??

Are women more weather-sensitive??
Bad weather can cause headaches for people: migraine patients often feel a change of weather hours before and can clearly feel a change in temperature or a gathering thunderstorm. Physical complaints such as circulatory problems due to a change in the weather are widespread. Mostly it is claimed that especially women are weather-sensitive. In a survey, this assumption seems to be confirmed.

Older women are especially affected
According to a representative survey of the health portal "www.apotheken-umschau.de", women are more concerned about women than men. While only about one in six of the male interviewees described themselves as weather-sensitive or sensitive, this was done by one in three female respondents. Older women are therefore particularly affected. It is said that react in the age group 70 plus almost every second on their own statement on the weather. According to the information, the most common complaints of women with this problem are headache, circulatory problems, tiredness or fatigue, as well as increased occurrence of joint and joint pain or rheumatic pain.

Weather reversal is the most critical
The weather change is the most critical weather situation. In six out of ten affected women, the symptoms of their sensitivity or sensitivity to the weather are the most common. This is followed by humid weather, rapid changes in temperature, wet and cold weather, high heat, thunderstorm moods and a hair dryer. The survey was conducted in personal interviews by GfK Marktforschung Nürnberg with 1,004 women and 965 men aged 14 and over. Among them were 342 women who described themselves as weather-sensitive or weather-sensitive. (Ad)
