Was just talking to my mom and told her that the brain itself cannot feel pain and she hit me with “What is a headache caused by then” question.
In: Biology
I had one the other day and thought about asking the same thing here. There’s seriously no measurable way we can see anything different happening in the head during a headache? Since if I had to describe what one feels like I’d say it feels like there’s too much fluid/high pressure around the brain compressing on it. Is there a way one can study if the fluid increases during headaches? Or that maybe the brain gets hotter/colder? Maybe blood flow changes? So many things could be causing the unpleasant phenomenon one would think there’s something that would show up on a scan or test.
