Common Questions and Answers about Sneeze reflex brain

sneeze

Avatar m tn Hi all, This will sound extremely bizarre, but I would be grateful if anyone is able to shed some light on this very annoying thing that I am experiencing. It all started when I rubbed my eyes in my mirror 2 years ago, and then my eyes started stinging really badly, and I found I couldn't sneeze for about 2 weeks. For about 2 years now, I have been experiencing an inability to sneeze naturally. The sneeze builds up, but it never completes.
Avatar m tn Is anyone aware of a neuro/muscular disease with one of the signs being the loss/lack of the sneeze reflex?
Avatar f tn And immediately, I became scared for no reason and something in my brain changed that resulted me in the inability to sneeze. Now I can’t sneeze at all and when I feel the urge to sneeze, I will think that “I’m gonna sneeze, I’m gonna sneeze” and then I couldn’t because I kept thinking about it. Now I have headache, ear and eye pain which I think might be due to lack of sneeze. I’m always constantly thinking of not being able to sneeze and I find it hard not to not think about it.
383536 tn?1225030613 It is especially bad in the morning, and when I cough or sneeze. DH laughs at me every time I cough or sneeze because I gag so much (it's nervous laughter, because he does NOT do vomit very well). I am 30w4d and thought I would not have to deal with this anymore after my 2nd trimester, but I didn't get that lucky. Good luck to you! I hope it goes away!!
1375148 tn?1323166921 I'd I sneeze or cough everything slows down and gets fuzzy and the pain starts to increase. I than feel this awful burning and pressure behind my eyes. Which I have on a daily bases but it intensifies and triples in the amount.
Avatar m tn I will sneeze every time, and if I need to egg the sneeze on, I will look right at the light until I sneeze. If I feel a sneeze coming on, I will either look at the sun or a bright light in a room. I rarely sneeze in a low light situation. My doctor thinks I am nuts, as does my opthamologist. However, my Mom did this (but not my Dad) and both of my daughters do it too. My Mom says that her Mom did it as well. It's very strong reflex and completely uncontrollable.
Avatar m tn When I sneeze, I start sneezing 12 time with 30 seconds intervals between each sneeze. Does anyone elase have this and is there a remedy?
Avatar f tn 14) ive read that it psychological so bc i think of it i dont sneeze bc of some reflex. I've tried pepper. Looking at the sun. steam. snorting water. plucking my eyebrows near eyelids. Please I'm going crazy. I need to sneeze. I just want to sneeze.
Avatar f tn I had the same worries cux i actually had the flu. But u shoukd be ok just remeber to keep hydrated and try to get some rest. The saline sprays might help reduce some of the sneezing! Hope you feel better!
9407801 tn?1403606948 when i sneeze i experience pain in my chest, shoulders which goes all the way to my palms. it lasts from a couple of seconds to minutes. sneezing is now a painfull experience. Its now about 6 months or so.
Avatar f tn Hi allegra_dl, I believe that Ms. Paderla is right. You might be suffering from allergic rhinitis and so as your mother and grandmother. This is a condition wherein sometimes people inherit the disease and may pass to other generations. This kind of allergy does not only concern weather changes but also other allergens like dust mites, pollens, etc.
2083688 tn?1334601661 Actually its very bad to hold on your sneezes. Not bc ur pregnant but bc it sends the bacteria from ur sneeze into ur brain & u can get meningitis. My son came down with it & the dr told us to never, ever hold in a sneeze.
Avatar f tn Results were severely swollen sinus cavity under my right eye and over my right eye-next step Cat Scan-results, clear no infection. Refer to neurology for consult and brain scan!! So now that you have my history the confusion and fear for me is, why a brain scan? Do they think I have a tumor? What is this going to show and or prove to a Neurologist? I am desperate for answers. Please help. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/898096'>Chronic Sinus Pain</a>.
486038 tn?1300063367 Zero reflex means... drum roll... that there is no connection to the brain. It's what the neurologists call a 'no-brainer!' The neurologist raps on your knee with a little hammer, and the nerves send that signal back to the spine, which goes to the brain. The brain sends a signal back down to move the leg. If the leg doesn't move, it means that there is a disruption of the signal. I have this in my right leg. My neurologist seemed a lot less concerned than yours!
Avatar m tn My family doc told me not to worry about it because I had no symptoms of anything, just the reflex and that a certain percentage of people have the reflex naturally without anything being wrong. I am still paranoid though. I guess my question is if having the reflex is always a sign of some terrible neurological disease or if my family doctor is correct and some people just have it. I do have a history of familial tremor (my brother, dad, aunt, and I all have slight shaking of the hands...
Avatar f tn This happens because the corticospinal pathways that run from the brain down the spinal cord are not fully myelinated at this age, so the reflex is not inhibited by the cerebral cortex.
Avatar f tn have there been any developments with your inability to sneeze? i noticed you posted this concern Aug 17 and it is now mid December. I came across this thread because it is the same issue i currently have. I think the last time I sneezed was nearly a month ago in mid November and I dont know if i hit my eyeball too hard or if holding in a sneeze by accident a few weeks ago is what has triggered this issue.
425312 tn?1279966179 Sneeze away skippy. I don't think you are getting rid of meth that way.... sneezing is a result of irritation to the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract...I think it is getting rid of all the dust that has accumulated in our brain while we were using....
Avatar f tn Rather like a spine sneeze, actually - the way the itching in your nose becomes a sneeze is very similar to the onset of this symptom. When it was really bad, my arms would pull up into a preying mantis position. I thought spinal myoclonus because of the description - that it's a slow onset that builds up. Well, I did more research on it, and kept reading the We Move website about different kinds of myoclonus, trying to track it down.
Avatar f tn My husband had a couple occasions occur where he sneezed and lost control of his legs. He basically sneezed and then he collapsed to the floor. He was still conscious but he says that his legs went numb and that's why he fell back onto his butt..hard!!!! Today I heard him sneeze and when I came around the corner he was bent over and was walking like he was 105 years old with a cane. Not trying to be funny but he was struggling to walk for a couple of seconds after the sneeze.
Avatar f tn I also notice this pattern sometimes when I cough or sneeze, but not always, thank you for the insight.
Avatar m tn acoustic reflex is a reflex associated with the stapedial muscle, sounds in the right ear can cause contraction in the left which is called contralateral reflex. Abnormal adaptations of this reflex can cause pain. Acoustic neuroma is one cause of such pain" I don' t know what to think about this, i have fluttering + tinnitus in one of my ear with no pain but i don't know if i have to worry or not. Is that true that acoustic neuroma can cause such disorders(pain/flutter) ?
Avatar n tn I have babinski reflex in my right leg, I had a nerve coneduction test done from knee down and it came back ok but over active nerves and muscles. Could there be a problem some where else to cause a babinski reflex. Then she told me she didn't think I had MS and I do have fibromyalgia and I am now on gabentin 300 mg 3 times a day and muscle relaxers 800 mg 4 times a day.
Avatar f tn The cough lasted months but it DID GO AWAY. When you take opiates for a long time, it suppresses your cough reflex. When you stop, that reflex "wakes up" and dam.n. it takes its own sweet time going away. I really sympathize with what you're going through. Have faith it WILL get better.
Avatar f tn Since that day in the car two years ago, I frequently have headaches. Certainly each time I sneeze or cough, a headache immediately sets in. I visited a Chiropractor each month for 8 months and this did provide small, temporary relief however this didn't fix the problem. I then visited my GP who said it was probably some degradation of nerves/tissues at the top of my spine and that operating was an option however the risks would be much greater than any benefits I may enjoy.
Avatar n tn Babinski's reflex occurs when the big toe moves toward the top of the foot and the other toes fan out after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. Reflexes are specific, predictable, involuntary responses to a particular type of stimulation. Babinski's reflex is one of the infantile reflexes. It is normal in children up to 2 years old, but it disappears as the child ages and the nervous system becomes more developed. It may disappear as early as 12 months.
