What Causes Brain Freezing Feeling?

This describes the pain that I have: Brain freeze type feeling (very intense) that starts in my left neck area and moves to my teeth and across my face then down to my chest and below my breasts. The pain usually moves back up to my neck etc. - the same path before going away. Very painful. One time it lasted 6 minutes (which feels like a lifetime) then 1.5 months later it lasted more than 20 minutes. The longer episode happened about 1:30 am. I had eaten around 6ish and was asleep when it awoke me. Therefore I do not believe it is due to my digestion, or reflux or anxiety. I have always been in a relaxed state when it happens. Sitting up or in bed, but quiet and not stressed.

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the nature of pain described here it could be due to neuralgia some time could be due to neuropsychotic disorders, still before labelling it better to get done the CT of brain and other routine test like blood test urine test, EKG, till then Tab Carbamazepine 200 mg once in day can be tried, you have not mentioned your age and gender because it could be related with that, hope this information helps.
