A member asked:
Can cold food cause a migraine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: However, it is often very characteristic of pts with migraine to suffer "brainfreeze" after swallowing cold foods, such as ice cream. This phenomena causes brief pain btwn the eyes which resolves over a few minutes. Many migraineurs have avoided rapid ingestion of cold items due to this. Full blown headaches assoc with cold are far less common.
