*🤧 What REALLY Happens When You Hold in a Sneeze? 🤧🤧🚫*
Ever been in a quiet room — like a lecture hall, a church, or during an intense convo — and that *sneeze starts building up* like as if rain wan fall😪🌩️ Your nose twitches, your eyes squint… and boom 💥 you decide to *hold it in*. Sounds polite, abi?
*But wait... 😶🌚*
*Here’s the truth — holding in a sneeze can be risky business!*
When you *sneeze*, your body forcefully expels air to *clear irritants* from your nose — it’s your body’s natural “nose cleaner” 🧹. But when you *pinch your nose and shut your mouth* to suppress it, that pressure has *nowhere to go* — and that’s where the trouble starts. 🛑
Studies have shown that *suppressing a sneeze* can lead to:
➡️ *Ruptured blood vessels in the eyes or nose* 👁️👃
➡️ *Ear damage or rupture of the eardrum* 🦻
➡️ *Throat injuries or torn windpipe in extreme cases* (very dangerous ooo🧏♂️ )
➡️ And even *brain aneurysms or air trapped in the chest* (in VERY rare situations) 🧠💥
It’s like trying to stop a pressure cooker from releasing steam — not smart. ⚠️
So next time you feel a sneeze coming…
*Let it out! But do it responsibly.*
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow, *not your hands* 🙌, and sneeze away!
Your body will thank you! 🙃💨
*Your sneeze isn’t rude — it’s necessary!*
*So please Medics don't try holding your sneeze🙏*
