---

yes, your heart stops when you sneeze

---

yes its true

---

yep its true.

---

Actually your heart stops...thats why we say bless you

---

yeah heart attack

---

A sneeze is a forceful exhalation (part of breathing).We ALL stop breathing in between each inhalation and exhalation - it's not a constant process.In order to really STOP breathing, you'd have to go for at least 30-60 seconds without taking a breath. We don't do that when we sneeze.

---

yep

---

Yup it true. and also did you know your heart also stops when you have a "he-cop"?

---

yes its true and your heart stops too. and we say bless you not becuase our heart stops its because they used to believe that your soul would escape when you sneeezed henses the bless you. another useless fact is we all close our eyes when we sneeze and if we dont our eyes would pop out

---

Yes it is true, and also why it was the one of the most horrible and dangerous semptoms of the Black Death, because if one got the Black Death sneezing was the last semptom, as the person's heart would stop beating and the lungs would stop beating for a long time because of constant sneezing, eventually killing the person by suffocation and lack of blood flow

---

no your heart stops beating

---

Not only breathing, heart also stops for a moment, as due to excessive pressure created by lung to sneeze and if heart tries to pump blood at same time, there is chance of capillary hemorrhage...Hence christian says 'God bless you' and Muslim says 'Allhamdullilah', as person has reviewed his / her heart beats and breath..

---

I believe you have this confused with the MYTH that your heart stops beating for a second when you sneeze. It doesn't.

---

well yeah its kinda true.
next time you sneeze try to inhale at the same time!
and no your heart doesn't stop beating!
