One way that atmospheric pressure changes affect people is related to molds sporing. When the pressure is low and the humidity is high, the wet molds release spores. When the pressure is rising and high and the humidity is low, the dry molds release their spores. When the weather "changes", many people complain that their joints hurt, for example. Some would say that it is because the pressure is changing, plain and simple. However, not too many people complain about joint pain when flying in jet liners when the pressure somewhat rapidly drops to the in flight level of between 8 and 10 thousand feet. Also, it has been long observed that Asthma attacks are more common when cold fronts come through with their attending dry mold sporing. These are observations that I made during 30 years of practicing Family Medicine and having studied botany as an undergraduate.

What else can I help you with?
Do humans get headaches from high and low pressure systems?
Yes, changes in barometric pressure can trigger headaches in some individuals. High pressure systems can cause an increase in pressure within the head, leading to headaches or migraines, while low pressure systems can result in a decrease in oxygen levels, potentially causing headaches in sensitive individuals.
How does the movement of the air affect the type of weather that forms from high pressure and low pressure systems?
that the hell who would want to know that
How does high pressure affect transport?
High pressure can affect transport by creating stable and fair weather conditions, resulting in smoother travel experiences for planes and ships. However, high pressure systems can also cause strong winds and turbulence, which may lead to delays for air and sea transportation. Additionally, high pressure systems can influence atmospheric pressure gradients, impacting the efficiency and fuel consumption of vehicles on land.
How Pascal's Principle affect water in a closed bottle and Hydraulic systems?
High pressure bottle to the floor. Pressure = force. Cross section
Does a high-pressure system have a low-pressure or high-pressure center?
A high pressure systems has a high pressure center.
How do storms differ in low pressure and high pressure systems?
There are no storms in high pressure systems. That's where the clear skies are.
What are high-pressure systems usually associated with?
High pressure systems are usually not associated with changeable weather.
How does the movement of air affect the type of weather that forms from high pressure and low pressure systems?
Air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure, creating wind. In high pressure systems, air sinks and diverges, creating stable and clear weather conditions. In low pressure systems, air rises and converges, leading to cloud formation, precipitation, and potentially stormy weather.
What is the ultimate cause of a sea breeze?
A Low Pressure system. High pressure systems exist "by default"; meaning that high pressure systems occur everywhere that there are no low pressure systems.
How are low pressure systems and high pressure systems alike?
Both low pressure systems and high pressure systems are large-scale atmospheric circulations associated with air movement. They both influence local weather conditions and are characterized by their respective pressure readings (below average for low pressure systems and above average for high pressure systems).
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
What body systems are involved in high blood pressure?
Hypertension or High Blood Pressure can affect all of the body's systems if not treated, especially Cardiovascular, Central Nervous System (stroke), Renal, Reproductive and Endocrine. (Hypertension and Diabetes)
