So I'm looking up about sneezing and one of the things I learned is that the pressure involved in a sneeze is up to 176mmHg IF you are closing your nose. Enough to cause damage to things like your hearing and your eyes, and even caused a woman with osteoporosis to break her nose.
So grab a tissue by all means but don't close your nose!
It's enough to aggravate back pain...
ReplyDeleteCould never understand people who try and keep a sneeze in......girl I went to school with always did. Let it go ☺
ReplyDeleteIt never looks like it does anyone good keeping it in, must affect the ear at the very least.
ReplyDeleteOverpressure from supressing a cough is even worse. But, once established, it is really hard to repress the blocking reflex and allow your friends and coworkers to bathe freely in the spray.
ReplyDeleteyou can put your back back in too.Have had that happen many times, stiff back sneeze crack all good.
