Example Sentences

- "Symptoms of meteoropathy include headache, muscle pain, joint pain, general fatigue, weakness, discouragement, apathy, iritability, difficulty concentrating, and insomnia (or sleepiness)."
- "This study aimed to comprehensively review and analyze existing in vivo animal studies and human clinical trials investigating the effects of meteoropathy on health and its pharmacological treatment."
