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.
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. If there’s anyone facing the same problem as me please get into contact with me. I want to talk to someone.
Each subject then performed double-leg press sets at 85% and 100% of maximum. Each exercise was performed twice, once with closed glottis Valsalva, and then with slow exhalation during concentric contraction. The mean BP at 100% maximum with Valsalva was 311/284. The highest pressure recorded in an individual was 370/360. With slow exhalation, the mean BP was 198/175 when the same 100% maximum was lifted (p<.005).
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.
My question is about my 4 yr old and since it is many layered I don't know where to post it. A visit for an earache today brough a routine check of her throat. The doctor stated that she had never seen an epiglottis that big, and called in another doctor who said the same thing. They didn't tell us much about what that meant one way or another and I'm hoping to find out. I'd like to tell you some history though because it seems like she has one thing after another.
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!

Hiccups are an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm and respiratory organs, with a sudden closure of the glottis, everybody gets the hiccups not only pregnant women, if hiccus was a sing of a growing baby we'd have them throughout our pregnancies
The thing is, that when I do this, I get a really strange effect from it. During the valsalva you force air agains a closed glottis, and hold that pressure for maybe 10 sec.
When i release the air, my heart acts REALLY weird. It takes long pauses, and then beats really hard, then fast for a few beats again, then another break and a hard beat, and then after maybe 30. seconds, it goes back to a steady, normal rhythm.
Those thirty seconds are terrible.

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.
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.
