The neurologist spoke about the causes of headaches in the cold

The cause of the headache that some people get in the cold is hypersensitivity of the skin, said neurologist and neurophysiologist Alexander Budik.

As writes “Lenta.ru”, Budik explained that the headache that can occur when a person leaves a warm room in the cold is not associated with the state of the cerebral vessels. According to him, the vessels have “their own, special regulation,” and the blood flow stabilization systems in the brain work adequately until the systolic blood pressure rises to 200, and this has nothing to do with frost.

However, an increased sensitivity of skin receptors can cause discomfort. If they get very irritated in the cold, a headache arises, and to prevent this, you just need to wear a hat.

The specialist also noted that there is a type of headache that appears when eating something cold, such as ice cream. It is also associated with irritation of the sensitive endings in the mouth.
