Why do violent sneezes cause you to feel pain in seemingly unrelated body parts (like your arms/hands)?
In: Biology
You used the word violent, and that word is correct at least to body parts we don’t seem to notice regularly.
Sometimes a sneeze is felt for a moment, and you are ready for it.
Sometimes a sneeze happens and your entire body reacts. Many of your core muscles react. They tense up, they spasm. Often even if you are expecting a sneeze, a sneeze can cause a chain of events.
Your back muscles, especially lower back muscles will tighten. People don’t always hunch over because of manners. Some people with lower back problems figure out their back problems because of a sneeze. The muscles tense up and BAM, revealed. Probably better than falling on some ice though. Your back has a thing with dealing a ton of your nerves.
If your arms feel funny from a sneeze, a chiropractor should be able to help you with it.
