Weather, a Factor
A survey of 7,054 patients admitted to emergency rooms in the Boston, Mass. area found for every 5 degree Centigrade (9 degrees Fahrenheit) increase in temperature, both migraine and non-migraine headache risk went up 7.5 percent over the next 24 hours. And for every 5 millimeters (.20 inches) of mercury drop in pressure, there was also a 6 percent increase in headache risk. | Discovery News Video
