That headache that came out of nowhere? Check the barometer. Barometric Pressure Pal puts your migraines, headaches, and symptoms on the same chart as barometric pressure, so you can see exactly which pressure drops set yours off. • Migraine & Symptom Tracker Log a migraine, headache, or pain spike in two taps. It lands on the pressure curve at the exact hour it hit, so your bad days stop looking random. • Barometric Pressure Forecast See the next pressure drop coming days ahead, down to the hour, for your exact location instead of the nearest airport 40 miles away. • Accurate Barometer Read the barometric pressure around you right now, refreshed for where you actually are. • 24h Pressure Chart Watch the next 24 hours of pressure rise and fall on one chart, so a sudden drop never catches you without your medication. • 7-Day Forecast A 7-day barometric pressure forecast flags the days most likely to trigger pain, before they arrive. • Medication & Trigger Log Note every dose and trigger right next to the pressure reading, and find out whether your medication is landing on your worst days. • Built for Chronic Conditions Migraine, chronic pain, POTS, or weather-sensitive BP: people living with chronic illness can track every symptom against the barometer in one place. • Your Personal Trigger Checker Three months in, see it in plain numbers: how many migraines followed a pressure drop, and how big a drop it takes to set you off. It works like a trigger checker built from your own data, not generic advice. Stop guessing what the weather is doing to you. Barometric Pressure Pal is the migraine tracker, symptom tracker, and barometric pressure forecast that finally shows you the connection.

Find what's actually driving your attacks — and get the data to prove it. Attacks blur together. There's no clean baseline to compare against, no obvious culprit, and no way to tell whether the wine, the weather, or the bad night of sleep was the one that did it. Most migraine apps are glorified diaries — you log the attack and the data goes nowhere. Migraine Help is a trigger-finding app first. TRIGGERS DON'T HIT ALONE — THEY STACK Rarely is it one thing. It's a pressure drop on top of short sleep on top of a cycle day. Migraine Help tracks how those loads pile up over time and shows which combinations precede your attacks — with honest confidence levels, so you know what's real and what's still a maybe. THE LIST GETS SHORTER, NOT LONGER Every attack is compared against your own non-attack days. That means suspects get cleared, not just added. Test one variable at a time and let the data confirm or rule it out, instead of cutting things out forever on a hunch. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE THAT ACTUALLY HELPS Pressure is the biggest driver for a lot of people. Migraine Help tracks it hour by hour and flags incoming shifts days ahead — proof your body isn't reacting for no reason. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS IN ONE TAP Headache days, identified triggers with confidence levels, hormonal patterns, medication effectiveness — a clean PDF your neurologist can read in 30 seconds. Useful for appointments, and for the documentation preventive treatments require. BUILT FOR THE MIDDLE OF A MIGRAINE One tap from the lock screen opens straight to a pain slider. Log a checkpoint, mark whether meds helped, done. WORKS WITHOUT A CYCLE Menopause, hysterectomy, pregnancy, postpartum, birth control — when cycle data isn't there, the engine leans harder on sleep, heart rate, and pressure. WHAT MIGRAINE HELP TRACKS Trigger correlation with honest confidence levels Trigger stacking and daily load Barometric pressure forecasts — incoming shifts, not just current readings Cycle phase and hormonal patterns Sleep, heart rate, HRV, and wrist temperature via Apple Health Medication effectiveness over time Payment charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings. IMPORTANT Migraine Help is for informational use only and is not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your doctor for migraine management.
