Tag: Sneezing side effects

A single sneeze can expel air at speeds exceeding 100 mph, a powerful reflex that, when repeated excessively, can have consequences for your body. So, what are the side effects of excessive sneezing, and when should you be concerned about this persistent reflex?

While the idea of a sneeze being powerful enough to cause fainting sounds like a health myth, a phenomenon known as 'sneeze syncope' confirms that in very rare cases, you can pass out from sneezing too hard. This occurs not from the sneeze itself, but from its effect on an underlying condition.
