eli5: Why do you feel pain when you have a stroke or haemorrhage even tho the brain has no pain receptors?

926 views

I remember hearing somewhere that your brain has no pain receptors, as if something touches or damages it, you’re already dead, there’s no need for it to feel pain. Could it be it feels pressure rather than a genuine pain? Or is this total bollocks?

Those with stroke are often not aware of changes in their physical abilities, thinking or emotions. These people have trouble with self-awareness.
