why do we get headaches?
In: Biology
Headaches are really poorly understood. It’s not entirely known why we get them.
There are though a few ideas.
One is that they’re muscular aches in the shoulders, neck and head and this causes the pain of a headache. You don’t always feel pain exactly where it’s coming from.
Another is that the tissues around the brain for some reason become hyper sensitive and then the brain misinterprets signals coming from them as pain.
And another is that the brain just goes, “I’m going to make you feel pain for absolutely no good reason,” which then results in a headache.
