~Another word for hypothalamus is homeostasis.The hypothalamus is a region of the brain that controls a number of physical functions. It is located in the middle of the base of the brain, and "shortens" the ventral portion of the third ventricle. The hypothalamus gland regulates body temperature, blood sugar, water balance, fat metabolism, feeding habits, sleep, sexual behavior, emotions, hormone productions, and the autonomic nervous system. It directs the "fight or flight" response of the autonomic nervous system. Fear or excitement causes signals to travel to the hypothalamus, which triggers a rapid heartbeat, faster breathing, widening of the pupils, and increased blood flow. The hypothalamus can be regarded as the thermostat controlling the temperature of the body. It initiates shivering and contraction or expansion of blood vessels. The hypothalamus triggers behaviors such as putting on or removing clothes, turning on the heat, or moving into the shade.It also regulates other glands such as thyroid, pancreas, ovaries etc. This amazing gland takes up less than 1% of the brain.

you can't hurt your hypothalumus, especially not doing a flip. it is a part of your brain that controls all types of bodily functions.

Take some ibuprofen with a glass of milk, it's an anti-inflammatory, that's what you need. If that doesn't work, eat some cookies and go to bed.
