Can anyone else feel sensations in their brain? (lemmy.world)

Last time I checked there aren't nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I've felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just wanted to see if anyone else has this happen?

I get a specific feeling in my head when I'm about to start a panic or anxiety attack. It's at that moment where I can usually just like... Take a breath, relax, and try to avoid the issue calling it or I succumb and deal with it. I get the warning feeling in my brain though.

In other physical things, I can slow down or accelerate my heartbeat on demand and I've shown my SO when we were messing with a heart rate monitor. I can also make my heartbeat skip on demand but stopped that after I scared the shit out of an ex when I showed them. Also the doctor told me don't do that anymore after I told her it was a thing.
