I have the same problem and my father did as well, so it may have a genetic component. If the sneezing occurs at any time and appears to have no environmental trigger, it is probably non-allergic rhinitis. A palliative that works for me is an antihistamine nasal spray, which implies the cause is oversensitive nerves in my nose.
A sniff of decongesting oils dabbed on the end of my finger also helps me clear the mucus that often builds up after a few sneezes. While it does come across as a juvenile idea, plenty of people would admit to the fact sneezing provides a feeling of relief, which women and men agree can also be how an orgasm feels. Some people also suffer with something from called honeymoon rhinitis, which causes them to sneeze uncontrollably or become congested after sex — or sometimes someone will sneeze simply from thinking about it.
This is likely because the genitals and nose both contain erectile tissue which can engorge, although not enough is known to be sure how the two parts link. A friend of Freud, German otolaryngologist Then Fliess, believed that all sorts of things could happen if you focused on the nose, and that it was the cause of everything from menstruation problems to psychological issues.
He was dismissed on a number of things, but his theories about the link between sneezing and sex have been reported long since his death. On a related note, some people find that their noses feel stuffed up during sex — a condition known as honeymoon rhinitis. Rhinitis , an inflammation of the mucous membranes often associated with allergies, can also trigger from nonallergenic causes, including weather changes, alcohol consumption or perfume inhalation.
You might be tempted to hold in a sneeze in a crowded place, when speaking to another person, or in other situations where having to sneeze seems ill-timed. But research suggests repressing a sneeze could be hazardous to your health, sometimes causing serious complications. Besides that, everyone sneezes. Sneezing is a powerful activity: A sneeze can propel droplets of mucus from your nose at a rate of up to miles per hour!
Why are sneezes so powerful? When you sneeze, your body produces pressure in your respiratory system. This includes your sinuses, nasal cavity, and down the throat into your lungs. In a study , scientists measured a pressure level of 1 pound-force per square inch 1 psi in the windpipe of a woman who was sneezing.
Holding in a sneeze greatly increases pressure inside the respiratory system to a level of about 5 to 24 times that caused by the sneeze itself. Experts say holding this additional pressure inside your body can cause potential injuries, which can be serious.
Some of these injuries include:. When you hold in the high pressure that builds in your respiratory system before a sneeze, you send some air into your ears. This pressurized air runs into a tube in each of your ears that connects to the middle ear and eardrum, called the eustachian tube.
Most ruptured eardrums heal without treatment in a few weeks, though in some cases surgery is needed. That includes bacteria. Hypothetically, the redirection of air back into your ears from your nasal passages could carry bacteria or infected mucus to your middle ear, causing an infection. These infections are often quite painful. Sometimes middle ear infections clear up without treatment, but in other cases antibiotics are needed.
The increased pressure caused by the sneeze being held in can cause blood vessels in the nasal passages to squeeze and burst.
