Large Solar Flare Triggers G2-Level Magnetic Storm: How It Affects People

A solar flare that occurred on January 18 has turned into a powerful G2-level magnetic storm this week. This was reported on the website of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the IKI RAS (Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and the ISZF SB RAS (Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences).

Most people do not notice such space events, but for some they can lead to serious malaise and disrupt the usual rhythm of life, said Yevgeny Klikich, chief physician of the MRI Alliance center and leading specialist in clinical research.

The doctor noted that increased solar activity can affect vascular tone and raise the level of adrenaline in the blood. Therefore, during periods of geomagnetic disturbances, weather-sensitive people may suffer from headaches, irritability, and weakness.

— A healthy body practically does not feel weather changes. Storms primarily affect people with chronic pathologies — hypertension, vascular atherosclerosis, cerebral ischemia. A natural anomaly serves as a trigger for the manifestation of a disease that a person might not have been aware of, — the expert emphasized.

In this situation, headaches are not just an annoying symptom, but an internal signal urging proactive action. It is important not to ignore even the slightest reaction to weather changes and immediately undergo an examination to rule out a neurological ailment.

MRI holds a leading position among technologies for diagnosing brain diseases. This is due not only to the versatility and safety of the study, but also to the fact that it provides unique opportunities for visualizing complex structures of the central nervous system. In Biysk, tomography can be done in the city center, at the evidence-based diagnostic clinic «MRI Alliance».

The procedure is simple and takes no more than half an hour. The results are handed out within two hours. If there are reasons for concern, the radiologist will voice them to the patient and give recommendations on which specialist to turn to.
