Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just wanted to see if anyone else has this happen?
Maybe check your vitamin levels and make sure you’re drinking enough water. Sugar is dehydrating, a general rule I follow is drinking 2 cups of water for every cup of something else.
just like you boil rice
Anyone who has had discontinuation syndrome knows the experience of “brain zaps” - basically feels like an electric shock toy going off inside your head somewhere behind your eyes/sinuses. Is it anything like that?
Brain zaps are the worst thing ever. I had to go off of effexor because I’m bipolar and had my first manic episode while on it. I looked like a crazy person for a while. I mean, I am a crazy person, but you can’t tell that up front lol.
For real. I’m on that stuff and if I am just a few hours late taking it I get the zaps. Slightest head movement and ⚡ zzzZZAP ⚡. Missing a day and I’m unable or unwilling to move.
It’s not head movement I think. I believe it’s eye movement triggered.
Given the predatory nature of our species, it’s gonna be a tough call moving your head without having your eyes snap to various objects around.
Can’t even begin to imagine.
Yes, happens a lot. I would be very surprised if the brain had no nerve endings at all, given that almost all human tissue has nerve endings in it (except hair maybe).
I guess what you feel is a complicated mixture of:
- blood and fluid pressure
- electric discharges in your brain, kinda tingling
- placebo
