Cephalemia

/ˌsɛfəˈliːmiə/ noun

Definition

An excess of blood in the blood vessels of the head, causing congestion.

Etymology

From Greek 'kephalē' (head) + '-emia' (suffix meaning 'condition of the blood'). The term combines the head root with the medical suffix used to describe blood conditions.

Kelly Says

Before modern medicine, physicians noticed that some people's faces turned red and they complained of head pressure—they named this 'cephalemia' to describe what we now know is simply increased blood flow to the head!
