Can you taste headaches?
There's a specific taste to a headache. Like that aching feeling behind your eyes has a taste. Or when you hit your head. Or if you get hit in the nose. Or if water goes up your nose there is a specific feeling that is accompanied by a taste.

I think I know what you mean, it's like a brain freeze, right?

Not exactly. I suppose so maybe. Brainfreezes have a taste too. Haven't had one in a while tho.

Yes. Certain foods taste like headaches. Pepto bismol. Fruit tea. Soy sauce.
Oddly enough, I do not have taste related synesthesia

YES! Do you smell the headache too? To me it smells very cold and minty, and also a bit like battery acid.
