What does it mean when you get a brain freeze and your lower left back feels the same sensation as head?
Brain freeze, also called ice cream headache or cold stimulus headache, is a headache caused by the consumption of cold foods. The exact mechanism is unknown, but it is thought to be related to the rapid temperature change in the roof of the mouth. This causes a sudden constriction and then dilation of blood vessels in the brain, which can cause pain. The pain is typically described as a sharp, stabbing pain in the forehead or temples. It can also spread to the lower back, but this is less common.
If you experience a brain freeze, there are a few things you can do to relieve the pain:
* Stop eating or drinking the cold food.
* Hold your tongue against the roof of your mouth to warm it up.
* Drink some warm water or tea.
* Apply heat to the forehead.
Brain freezes are usually harmless and will go away on their own within a few minutes. However, if you experience a brain freeze that lasts more than a few minutes or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea or vomiting, you should see a doctor.
