If the human brain doesnt have any nerve endings in it and cant feel pain, then what is a headache?
Just something I was wondering late at night when my head was pounding and I couldnt get to sleep.

Your head doesn't only consist of your brain. It's the other parts that hurt.

Several areas of the head can hurt, including a network of nerves which extend over the scalp and certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat. The meninges and the blood vessels do have pain perception. Headaches often result from traction to or irritation of the meninges and blood vessels. The muscles of the head may similarly be sensitive to pain.
