For a while now I have been hearing from various people ( even a science teacher at one point) that each time a person sneezes their heart stops. At first I was shocked and then of course skeptical. I had to ask myself, does this really happen or is this another rumor that's gotten spread around by society to the point that most people think its real. Here's what I found out.
The idea that your heart stops when you sneeze is in fact FALSE and this is why.
When you first inhale that first breath before sneezing the pressure in your chest increases. But then once you exhale during the sneeze the pressure drops which causes an alteration in your blood flow. This alteration can cause your heart rate to change and make it seem as if your heart stopped momentarily. However even with these pressure changes and changes in heart rate your electrical activity in your heart stays the same and thus your heart has never truly stopped.
