Yes, you can die from holding in your sneeze, because your sneeze can go about 90 miles per hour and so if you do hold it in you can suffer from brain damage!

What are the damages of holding a sneeze in?

By holding a sneeze in, you can damage the blood vessels in your eyes, nose, and in your throat. You can also cause your eardrums to be damaged.


Is it better to sneeze or not to?

It's much better to let yourself sneeze. You sneeze because there's something inside your nose that isn't supposed to be there. When you sneeze, the air blasts out whatever was bothering your nose. Also, the pressure from holding in a sneeze could hurt your ears.

Why is it bad to hold in a sneeze?

Holding in a sneeze is like holding down the top of a jack-in-the-box. Why not just let it out? The air expelled by sneezes is said to travel up to 100 miles per hour; holding in a sneeze could cause fractures in the nasal cartilage, nosebleeds, burst eardrums, hearing loss, vertigo or detached retinas. Therefore it is best to let your sneeze fly (yet shielded by a hankie, preferably). Plus, your body is trying to clear out your pharynx-and that's a good thing. To help the sneeze come out, look at a bright light. This stimulates the optic nerve, which crosses wires with the sneeze center. The added irritation of an adjacent nerve will get the sneeze going.


Will your computer die if you sneeze on it?

Can you die if you sneeze?

The Birmingham Health System states, "If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force (while you sneeze), they will pop out. Suppressing a sneeze can be harmful, particularly to your ears." I learned that if you hold in a sneeze while pinching your nose, while it relieves the pain in your ears, "it briefly blocks the blood flow to your heart". Yes, you can die from sneezing if you hold it in.
