Every time I eat I get a slight tingly feeling in the right or left back side of the top of my head. Am I cooked or what?

You're not "cooked," but it’s worth paying attention to this symptom. Tingling in the head, particularly after eating, could have a variety of causes, ranging from benign to potentially serious. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Nerve Sensitivity or Irritation

  • Certain foods (e.g., those with strong spices, very hot or cold foods) can stimulate nerves in the face and head, like the trigeminal nerve, leading to tingling sensations.

2. Food Sensitivity or Allergy

  • Some people experience tingling due to food allergies or sensitivities. This could also be linked to histamine release, especially if you eat foods like aged cheese, wine, or processed meats.

3. Blood Flow Changes

  • Eating can increase blood flow to the head as part of the digestive process. In some people, this might trigger a tingling sensation, particularly if there’s a vascular or nerve-related sensitivity.

4. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Issues

  • Chewing might irritate the TMJ, which could cause referred tingling or discomfort in the head.

5. Neurological Concerns

  • Rarely, tingling sensations in the head could point to neurological conditions, such as migraines, nerve damage, or even more serious issues like a transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, this is less likely if it only happens after eating.

6. Vitamin Deficiencies

  • Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 can cause nerve-related symptoms, including tingling in various parts of the body.

7. Stress or Anxiety

  • Stress can lead to physical symptoms, including tingling, especially if you’re hyper-aware of body sensations.

What You Should Do:​

  • Track the Symptoms: Write down when it happens, what you ate, and if you notice any triggers or patterns.
  • Consider Your Diet: Are you eating anything new or unusual? High-sugar, high-salt, or highly-processed foods can sometimes cause odd sensations.
  • Check Your Posture: Poor posture while eating can put pressure on nerves or muscles.
  • Consult a Doctor: If the tingling persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms (like dizziness, headaches, or weakness), it’s a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider to rule out more serious causes.
If it’s mild and not worsening, it’s likely nothing urgent. However, better to be cautious and get a professional opinion!

(just my 2 cents)

It’s due to the meat. Avoid eating red meat. Eat more leafy green vegetables and tasty fruits.

Had this like 2 times this year. It's not everytime I eat, however I do notice this when I eat too fast (probably. I eat fast too but it doesn't happen again) but Idk, it happened randomly during those two times:feelsthink:

I don't think it's serious. Probably I'm sabotaging myself here.

If it happens again, I might check.

Anyway, please update us when you get it checked:Comfy:
