It's your head, not your actual brain.

The brain only registers what you feel.. the nerves pick up the pain. Headache is normally associated with dilation of blood vessels but also is frequently involving dilation of the pupils also. Making the sensitivity to lights somewhat evident. When talking about these actions, we are involving the autonomic nervous system. Meaning one or more of the cranial nerves being effected. You will normally find tenderness at the base of the skull, on one side.. Pressure there may illicit the pain of the headache. Indicating some degree of a chronic condition in the neck. You may find symptomatic relief by visiting your local doctor of Chiropractic. Gained by treating the cause rather than the symptom.

That is the portion of your head that has no brain. Do you get a lot of really bad head aches?

Headaches are caused by the blood vessels in your head swelling. It has nothing to do with your brain. The brain normally functions and lets you know that you have one.

The brain matter itself does not feel pain. However, there are also nerves and muscles and blood vessels and such running through your head. These things can trigger pain.

frequent headaches are normally the result of tension of the scalp or jaw or facial musculature. Sensorial input to the brain is what causes the pain, not the brain itself.

The vessels that carry blood to the brain, cause pressure on your skull.

My doc told me it's the blood vessels dilating that causes pain.
