Question: What's a brain freeze!?
what's actually happening during a brain freeze!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Brain freeze occurs when a cold substance comes in contact with the roof of your mouth!. A stabbing or aching pain occurs!. The cold sensation causes the blood vessels above the roof of the mouth to contract in order to preserve body heat by reducing blood flow!. When the roof of the mouth is warmed, normally as a result of speaking or breathing, the arteries expand, which is interpreted by the nerves in the palate as pain!. This pain is sensed as occurring in the forehead because these regions are sensed by the same nerve as the upper palate!. This phenomenon is similar to the pain that is present in the left arm when someone is having a heart attack!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A stabbing or aching type of pain occurs, which usually recedes within 10–20 seconds, however the pain may occasionally last 30–60 seconds, or rarely for up to five minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
