No, your heart does not stop when you sneeze.
A sneeze begins beside a tickling sensation in the nerve endings that sends a message to your brain that it wants to rid itself of something irritating the lining of your nose. You first take a gaping breath and hold it, which tightens your chest muscles. The pressure of air in your lungs increases, you close your eyes, your tongue presses against the roof of your mouth and suddenly your breath comes out fast through your feeler Source(s): Medical School
"Bless you" is said as a form of "May God Bless you." It implies "May God bless you and prevent you from getting ill," as repeatedly many people who are sneezing might be catching something or having allergies.
Your heart does not stop when you sneeze. Sneezing have to do with the lungs, nose and throat. Your heart is in your circulatory system. The two systems are allied only together by blood vessels and your nerves and sneezing (in the respiratory system) does not affect your heart (in the circulatory system). If your heart stopped every time you sneezed, you'd be calling for 911 a LOT! Source(s): I am an EMT on a fire department
no...we'd drop dead if it stops for a sneez
i like that question! :)...to bad i dont know it..but im guessin since everone else said no..i will utter...no! lol
No, this is an Urban Legend. If that happen everytime we sneezed we would have a great deal of people near cardiac complications!
I have read some history text books and from what information I gathered it appears that the in one piece idea of saying "bless you" after someone sneezed came from a long time ago when family thought that a person who sneezed was actually doing so to wipe out demons or bad spirits from the body. At that time they did not have a great deal of medical expertise and did not understand that a sneeze wasjust the body's response to an allergen So, being that they believed the person be sneezing out the devil or demons, they would say to them, "bless you".
