Does barometric pressure cause migraines?
Changes in barometric pressure can trigger migraines in some people. Of people that are triggered by barometric pressure changes, some people may be triggered by very small barometric changes, some people will need a large shift in pressure to happen over a very short amount of time.
Can veins store blood?
Cross sectional area of veins is four times that of arteries This large cross sectional area plus large degree of compliance (yielding to pressure) implies that large amounts of blood can be stored in the veins with only minimal increase in pressure.
