Does your heart stop when you sneeze?

Why it's so important to manage your cholesterol levels.

It's a myth

That is just a myth. Though it may feel like it does, your heart doesn't stop when you sneeze. Actually, a powerful positive pressure condition is created in the chest. That can change the rhythm of the heart rate, but it will not stop it. A full answer can be found at: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/mar98/890925984.An.r.html

Don't suppress sneezes

Another fact is that you should NEVER stifle a sneeze, but let 'er rip because it builds up a great deal of pressure in the body (especially the chest, throat and nasal passages.)
