who here has violent sneezes?

Post Reply New Topic

nobody else i have ever seen, sneezes as violently as i do. when i feel the sneeze coming on [for the longest time], it is an inexorable feeling similar to being on top of the roller-coaster track before it heads straight down, and i can't suppress it to save my life. then the sneeze comes and it doubles me over for about 8 seconds of solid fit-like repetitive "AGHCHAGHackCHAGHackCHAGHackCHAGHackCHOGHGHGH" ending in an asthmatic wheeze that leaves me totally drained and lightheaded. i never have had a nice neat compact "at-chew!" if i am unlucky enough to succumb to one of these out in public, folk have expressed the thought that i was having a fit.

any other aspies out there with this problem?

I have a very loud sneeze that I inherited from my father. My sister would make fun of me by saying "BLAAACHOO" after I sneezed because that's what it sounded like. It always leaves me with chest pain too.

Me, too. This cannot possibly be another aspie trait, can it?

I always joked that I am like that little mouse, Sniffles, on the cartoon who sneezes so loud and violently it shakes the whole house.

Would be interesting to find out. I know my sneezes are loud (as are my father's, whom we think may be in the spectrum a bit too) . . . so, would be interesting to see if its genetic, or characteristic.

I have the loudest sneezes of anybody that I know.

Nope... I certainly don't have a loud sneeze but I don't like it very much when people have really loud sneezes, sometimes it scares me to the point I just start laughing out of the blue.

@Athenacapella: Its not an aspie thing, it happens with anyone.

hehe - yeah - me too - loud!

And i have those sneaky sneezes that run up and tap ya on the nose with a "AaaAAhhHHHH" and then run off before the "CHOOOOO" MOST unsatisfying them ones

I have found that pulling odd faces so that you can stick out your bottom lip and blow hard up your own nose can sometimes chase a sneeze away though - handy that - even if it does look mighty funny

Most often though i get made fun of for having loud hiccups - which i seem to get way more often than most people - often without even eating - my family used to claim they had fe-itis everytime they got hiccups Anyone else get them too?

Yep, me too, weird things make me sneeze as well, if I feel nausea (for example, if I smell cigarette smoke, or petrol fumes and it's before I've eaten breakfast, I start to feel quite sick, and then I have a huge sneeze and I feel better. Weird but true)

My dad who I'm certain also has AS, he gets sneezing fits, he just keeps sneezing over and over, till his face is covered in snot, euch!!

I'm sneezing like nobody's business today. I blame all the chocolate I ate yesterday.

Yes, they are typically quite violent. I have a habit of appending a curse word into the tail end of each sneeze.

I've always said my sneezes are like Lays potato chips; I can never do just one. Usually three to twenty in rapid fire succession. People find this odd, but I'd never thought it might somehow be associated with AS.

I am sneezing all the time since the snow has melted, we are getting the snow mold that covers
the grass till the first rains wash it away, I am stifling a sneeze as I write the post, its sucks.
Who here sneezes in the morning when seeing the sun, I do and so did my dad, I hear that it genetic
trait,my dad may have been an undiagnosed aspie

I sneeze quite loudly, and I always feel terrible about it because I know it startles those around me. I feel much better after all that is out though. I cant help how loud it is, either. I have had people tell me it is rude.

My sister does this little "choo!" like a baby doll you squeeze.That is her sneeze- always has been. People bug her too. She has a tiny nose and I have a more prominent, long nose. I think it might have something to do with that too. I hate it that people have to harass someone over something they cant control.

Yes, very loud. I usually nose dive into the nearest pillow to muffle the explosion.

every now and then i tremble in fear of having permanent hiccoughs, without doing anything other than just occupying space. i always grab the nearest intact paper bag and start ODing on CO2 until the damned things abate.

sometimes brushing my teeth, something about the toothbrush will tickle just so, the upper right side of my gums proximal to my right upper molars/bicuspids, and i will sneeze the toothpaste and saliva, etc. all over the mirror. i hate that.

I bet the mirror isn't thrilled about it either.
