I feel lightheaded when I only eat cold foods.

A cold stimulus startles the nerves in the roof of your mouth, causing the cerebral blood vessels to reflexively constrict and rapidly dilate, which triggers pain. Slowly melt and consume it, or make sure cold food does not directly touch the roof of your mouth.

의학 용어로는 한랭 자극 두통이라고 합니다.

  • 대처법: 혀를 입천장에 대어 따뜻하게 데워주면 통증이 빠르게 완화됩니다.
  • 체질적 특징: 평소 추위를 많이 타고 손발이 찬 분들이 더 민감하게 반응하는 경향이 있습니다.
💡 편두통 환자의 경우

편두통이 있는 분들은 찬 자극에 뇌가 더 예민하게 반응하여, 아이스크림 두통을 더 자주 혹은 더 강하게 겪을 수 있습니다.
