Relationships between the lower atmospheric pressure and vertigo
Abstract
It is known that the lower atmospheric pressure is highly related with orthopedic pain. It also seemed there was relationships between the pressure and onset of vertigo. Professor Wada in Japan reported the relationships at the congress as an invited speaker. Our question is what patients’ factors are responsible for the onset.
Lower atmospheric pressure in the airplane is a factor causing thrombosis in the deeper vein (Economic class syndrome). This let us compare condition of the blood circulation with the pressure. Comparison of the pulse rate, presumed degree of the vessel extension and change in the atmospheric pressure let us know that patients with higher pulse rate is likely to suffer from the vertigo while the lower pressure came near and passed by.
