sneeze

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.
Avatar m tn I hate the sneezing sooo much I been clean now 6 days and it has been a sneezing none stop time. Today I went out with a friend he drove. My eyes hurt sooo bad from the sun light I could barley open them I did not have my glasses with me. I have got the sneezing, watery eyes and the yawning none stop also.
Avatar n tn about 3 to 4 months ago i kissed a girl it was wet kissing and everything i have bleeding gums and she also has bleeding gums and a tongue piercing if she has hiv whats the risk of me catching it i have also had nasal congestion and sneezing daily and runny nose sometimes watery eyes could that be a symtom and about 3 to 4 weeks after i noticed little red bumps all over my mouth they would burn when i brushed my teeth
Avatar f tn Her jaw was a little out of place and hanging open, bleeding. Eventually the bleeding stopped and i saw her close and open her jaw with no obvious pain. 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.
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 n tn There is a probability that your husband is allergic to the fabric protector. You can air the furniture or place all in a room with open windows and vacuum clean daily for 2-3 days. Let your husband not go in the room. He can take some over the counter antihistamines like Claritin or Benadryl allergy or any other that is available. Hope these tips help. If symptoms persist consult a doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn If only present when open or close eye and just momentary not to worry
Avatar f tn Sleeping with eyes partially open isn't exactly rare. Sometimes people are born with the tendency, sometimes it's the result of some kind of injury or disease, and most of the time, the cause really isn't known. In fact, people who do it usually don't even realize it (after all, you're asleep, right?) until either they see a photo of themselves or their bed partner tells them about it. I didn't know I slept with my eyes open until my husband told me.
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.
152660 tn?1291755571 Herpes if very common and it will bring repeated colds, watering eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. It seems to be brought on by excess stress, and will hang around for a few weeks. This is something cats can handle unless there is yellow discharge from eyes or nose, then they will need to see the vet since it has turned from a viral to a bacterial infection which needs antibiotics.
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 f tn I think its because your sence of smell is more acute so your more senstive to dust particles :)
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 1. See an Eye MD for a complete eye exam. Tell him/her that you want to be sure you don't have "exposure keratitis". 2. Use a stronger lubricant at bedtime first tye 'Genteal Gel, if that doesn't work use Refresh PM an ointment. Be sure you don't sleep under a fan or have an air vent blowing across your face.
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!
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.
8339276 tn?1400262023 Is anyone else besides me experiencing a lot of daily random sneezing and stuffiness like allergy symptoms while pregnant???
Avatar f tn i have been sleeping with my eyes wide open. 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>.
Avatar f tn I have been sneezing and stuffy nose 5 weeks now. I have also had my left ear go out, meaning I can no longer hear in my left ear. I have tried Claritin, Benydryl, I have used ERO ear wax removal for the ear but it is still "blocked" and I can't stop sneezing and watery eyes, and runny nose and stuffy nose no matter what medication I take. Help, It's been 5 WEEKS not stop of this!!!
Avatar m tn What else is going on in your life? Are you consuming any thing that can damage your body or mind? Live a healthy life style. As to are you awake? Since you remember the eye open problem, if not awake you are having a vivid dream. Do you think you can remember to try something next time that happens? I mean remember when you are in the can't open eye state. Can you see anything, i.e.

Avatar n tn my daughter is 3 years old. she has always slept with her eyes half ways open. is there something to be worried about?
Avatar n tn When I found her she was so sick, runny nose, eyes, ears and sneezing. She has taken 3 rounds of antibotics and many tubes of L-Lysine. She is not active at all, only walks slowly. The majority of the time she is sleeping. She still has running eyes and nose but not as bad as before. I think her ears still bother her but they are not running any longer. But the poor baby can not meow, she tries but nothing comes out. She eats good and loves her dish of milk.
3170462 tn?1344717552 Three years ago, my husband and I adopted two cats. They're brothers, Alvin and Simon, and were a year old when we got them. Before they came to our home, they lived with a friend who runs a Second Chance operation from her home. She found them as kittens (mum was killed by a possum) and weaned them. Both cats were well treated. When we first took them, our friend mentioned that Alvin had started sneezing. We didn't think anything of it. Cats sneeze.
