I'm allergic to something that no doctor has yet been able to figure out.  It strikes me at the worst times (usually when I'm eating or drinking) and it was extremely hard to control.  What I've learned to do is to hold a piece of ice to the top of my mouth with my tounge.  If you press the ice firmly enough to the roof of your mouth the sneezing should stop (at least, it does with my sneezing).

Sneeze is an involuntary violent expiration of air through the nose and mouth. It results from stimulation of the nervous system in the nose, causing sudden contraction of the muscles of expiration. The stimulus can include any irritating factor in the nose—inflammation of the tissues as the result of a cold or infection, allergic irritants (hay fever), or irritating substances such as dust or pollutants in the air. An occasional sneeze usually has little significance. Repeated sneezing indicates that some condition of the nose or in the immediate atmosphere requires attention.

You might be suffering from allergies. It is common around this time of the year. Try taking Claritin, it works great for sneezing.

Everyone has their own unique style of sneezing.  Based on what you are saying I am guessing that when you sneeze you put pressure in your throat and on the back of your neck and into your shoulders.  The spinal nerves that control your arms are in the back of your neck just at the area where if you put your fingers on the back of your neck and tilt your head backwards, your fingers would be sort of pinched between your back and your head.  If, when you sneeze violently, you put a lot of pressure on your head downwards and bring your shoulders up, it could pinch off those nerves enough to send pain down your arms and even into your hands.  In order to avoid this, just try to do the impossible--change your style of sneezing.  Good luck with that.  If I have not described the way you sneeze, then, I'm sorry, I don't know why you get pains in your arms.\n\nSherril H.,  R.N.

over-the-counter try claritin D, or maybe just a cold medicine to stop the flow.\nIf you can get a prescription try Zyrtec. Works like a charm! \nMy allergist tells me to flush my nose with salt water every night 2 hours before I go to sleep to get all the mucus/allergens out. It really works. You can buy these little bottles at the drug store that come with salt packets and instructions. Ask the pharmacist.

My longest sneezing fit lasted 45 minutes. I just couldn't stop. I kept sneezing and sneezing and I don't have allergies or anything like that.

The ancient Greek doctor, Eryximachus, suggested 3 different ways, according to how severe they are.  He says to first try holding your breath.  If that does not work, try gargling with salt water.  And if that fails, then try to make yourself sneeze with a feather or equivalent, which, he says, it the most effective.

you are unique in this world, do not copy others. so write down what makes you feel bad (sneeze etc.)\nIt will help you certainly. \nTill then \n1. Avoid cold food stuffs like ice creams, cold water, \n2. Climatic changes ( shifting form air condition to normal temp and vice versa frequently),\n3. Irritating smells like perfumes etc.\n\nFoods - 1. Banana\n2. Rice\n3. Chilled water\n4. Synthetic cold drinks

Very little is done for factured ribs now.  If you can ice it, that will help with the pain.  Some athletic tape will also give some support.  Even better - try to get hold of some Kinesio Tape (www.kinesiotaping.com).  I use it as a physical therapist and it helps support like nothing else.\n\nIf you need to cough, try to support the area with a cushion and gentle pressure.  To help stop sneezing, press just under your nose as hard as you can (where your nose meets the top lip in the middle) - its an accupuncture point that works great.\n\nJust hang in there - it will get better but hurts like hell.  Keep trying to take deep breaths (as pain allows)- that will minimize the chances of lung problems developing.

Try an over the counter allergy pill and see if it helps.  Loratadine is the ingredient to look for.  It won't make you sleepy or jumpy.  It should at least reduce your sneezing.

It's probably dust. You can clean all you want but dust is still in the air. When you clean your house you are cleaning the dust that has fallen out of the air and landed on furniture. You can't clean your air unless you have a special filter.\n\nDo you have any animals in the house? It could be an allergy to an animal.\n\nDoes it only happen in your house, or other indoor places?\n\nAs far as sneezing fits, that's how it effects some people. There isn't much you can do about it.

Heck if i know. I'm asleep. Seriously though. There's no reason whatsoever why a person can't sneeze while asleep. What if you're dreaming about petting a cat and you're allergic to cats? Yes is your answer.\n-\nOk, I read a few articles on sneezing while asleep. They all say a person can't. I still say just because people don't sneeze while asleep doesn't mean they "can't". Tell you what. Let me put some pepper under your nose while you're asleep and let see if you don't sneeze. =)\n.\n.

Mechanism of sneezing - Normally, sneezing is an involuntary reflex, which is controlled by a complex interaction of nerve fibres. A variety of receptor sites, situated in the nose, reports about the irritation or foreign substance to the brain for inducing sneezing by releasing histamine, for clearing the nose. Receptors are sensitive to infection, touch, smells of dust, chemical gases, fumes, temperature and exposure to extreme cold air and water (the main offender). Usually, sneeze begins with a deep inspiration and closed glottis, which suddenly opens after gaining pressure from contraction of the diaphragm, abdomen muscles and other muscles which compress the lungs to let out the trapped air with force through nose and mouth. So with an explosive sound, throw of air occurs as a sneeze. Sneezing also involves contraction of the muscles of face, neck and eyes. Sometimes, sneezing air speed is measured more than 120 km/per hour. Normally, people sneeze once or twice during early morning or daytime to clear the nose.\n\nFor more info, go to the source...

Sneezing helps u to remove an irritation from your nose.It is more of a response than a voluntary action. Like all other involuntary actions in our body sneezing also involves a lot of muscles. Some of these muscles may be involved in the closing of the eye lids. Being an involuntary action we are unable to keep our eyes open when sneezing. \nHowever we do find yogis who have control on many of their muscles - may be they will be in a better position to keep their eyes open when sneezing.\n\nOn the lighter side - what do you really expect to see when u are sneezing!!!!!
