Can Brain Freeze Solve the Mystery of Migraines?

This article focuses on the effect of rapid blood flow to the brain, what we call a brain freeze.  The brain is supper sensitive to temperature so this rapid change swells the brain’s anterior cerebral artery.  While brain freeze may not be a way to cure migraines and other dysfunctions to the brain it may be linked to them in some way.

If a brain freeze causes your brain to hurt or gain a small amount of discomfort, does eating something hot cause the same effect or a different one?

  1. Eating something hot may cause the same effect as a brain freeze because obviously temperature will determine the way your brain functions.for instance, people who are out in the heat may experience drastic headaches because the heat and sun may cause a person to lose more water from their body.
