Chest freeze, also known as "brain freeze," occurs when you consume something cold too quickly. The cold temperature triggers blood vessels in the roof of the mouth to constrict, causing a sudden headache-like sensation. This sensation is a natural response to protect the body from extreme cold, similar to shivering in cold weather.
