1530342 tn?1405016490 It’s simply an uncontrolled body response. Sneezing with your eyes open feels impossible without using your fingers to pry them open. Which has certainly been done, by one of the guys on Mythbusters and countless others. “It is certainly possible to keep your eyes open if you try while you are sneezing … but it requires working against the reflex,” says co-author Vreeman, assistant professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine. “It’s a very strong response.
5056562 tn?1362952144 If you've been diagnosed with sleep apnea you need to be using a breathing machine at night. Sleep Apnea is dangerous and taking medication to "perk up" is not helping the sleep apnea which is the problem. But I doubt you have this at your age. Your diet plays a big role in mid-afternoon tiredness, so watch the carbs and sugar, and make sure you stay well hydrated.

Avatar f tn I laid her on a towel and she was moving her head around occasionally sneezing. She is now not sneezing and moving her legs around. She appears as if resting because both her eyes are closed but i know she can open one of her eyes. So what do i do next? I wouldnt prefer to go to the vet because of financial difficulty. And im not sure what to do.
518798 tn?1295212279 Yawning, sneezing are all part of the withdrawls. Your body is trying to squeeze thyroxin into your body to counter the fatigue as part of the detox. Remember your brain is all scrambled as it actually changes the way is works when you are on any opiate.
Avatar n tn The primary treatment is simply avoiding the things that trigger your symptoms. It is often treated with a drying nasal spray (like Atrovent) and antihistamines like chlopheneramine and lovatidine are effective. Nasal decongestant drops too relieve congestion. There are tubes called 'Eustachian tubes' which connect the middle ear to the throat, this balances the air pressure in the ears.

Avatar f tn Is that also safe ? I have read that sneezing is bad for retina. But it is very difficult to control when it comes.
Avatar f tn Does this mean that I still sleep with my eyes open? Also if this is a condition, could it possibly get worse and cause problems, and what should I do to prevent this? Thanks so much for your help!! Here is the Direct URL for the picture of my eye taken while I was sleeping. http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah289/emappo/IMG_4825_zpsxkaslf1r.

1444453 tn?1287103137 ve heard of - restelessness, extreme anxiety, depression, over emotional, stomach troubles, diarhhea, constant headache, skin sensitivity, sickness to smells, goosebumps, body aches and anything else to boot. But WHAT the heck is up with the sneezing? That sounds almost laughable to me! :) where the hell did this come from? By the way, I HAVE been sneezing - but I though I actually had that from something else!! Would NEVER have made the connection to oxy wd's!
1350993 tn?1277493222 I hated the sneezing part and watery eyes.........had to have a box of kleenex real close, I don't understand that part but hated it. I was lucky my sneezing only lasts a couple of days.
Avatar n tn This is kind of strange but every time any form of heat turns on my nose and sinuses go crazy. I get incredible sinus pressure, my eyes water, I start sneezing continuously, and sometimes it is so hard to breath that I can't talk (It just feels like my throat is closing up). It won't take long for this to happen but it is especially fast/bad when I am in a car right next to the vent, which makes things interesting in the wintertime.
Avatar m tn Hi, I've had allergic rhinitis for many years now and have been consistently fobbed off by the doctors. Have tried all the antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops, and the only thing that's been successful is the eyedrops for controlling itchy eyes!
Avatar f tn I think its because your sence of smell is more acute so your more senstive to dust particles :)
Avatar f tn Check with a cardiologist. If your heart is not working properly, it can cause fatigue, nausea,dizzy. My son is nauseated everyday when he wakes up. Sometimes he can get out of bed at noon, sometimes not until 6:00 at night. He is scheduled to see a cardiologist in 2 weeks, at the urging of his psychologist. He has been dealing with this for 3 years. He saw a gastroentrologist, then a neurologist, then of course when they couldn't figure it out, it must be anxiety.
Avatar f tn Any remedies for a nasty cold? Runny and clogged nose, red eyes, sneezing ... :(( horrible. I'm 6months and a half.
746399 tn?1233070072 I would only worry about gucky eyes if ONLY one eye is got crud in it or both eyes are cruddy and their is sneezing or breathing problems. Two cruddy eyes with no other symptoms is probably not a health concern. I hope this helped!!
Avatar n tn The outer oily layer is the lipid layer. This is the layer of the tear film which is compressed as you open and close your eyes or blink. The lipid layer is the thinnest layer of the tear film. For many years the conventional wisdom of pharmaceutical companies and Drs was that if thicker oil , ointment or gel was added to the eye it would last longer and lubricate better . Now we know that the thicker lubricants actually work against the eye.
1475492 tn?1332884167 It has everything to do with your vision, however - if you have white spots, black spots or flaring colored spots in your eyes, that indicates damage to the optic nerve. I have damage both to the optic nerve and to the retinal nerve fiber layer. I certainly don't want to rain on your parade. I personally had changes to my face as a result of muscle weakness. My mouth on the right side sagged, as well as the right eyelid. The weakness didn't cause bagginess, however.
10299247 tn?1409208876 I think, if I remember the list right, Claratin was supposed to be ok, I know I went in for a cold the other day and they said Claratin, Sudafed and Robatussin. Hope you start feeling better!
Avatar f tn My fiance says it scares him and he thinks something is wrong with me, so he yells for me to close my eyes.... Is this normal? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/897018'>Sleeping with Eyes Open</a>.
