Best Answer

Stifling a sneeze may push air into the rear of the ear, and temporarily overpressurize the nasal cavity. Normally there is no ill effect. Rarely, however, this can force nasal fluid up the lacrimal ducts into the eyes, with the possibility of bacterial involvement such as conjunctivitis.

A friend of mine pinched her nose to try to prevent herself from sneezing, and it caused her eardrums to pop. It hurt really bad and she had to go to the hospital.

Can you die if you sneeze?

The Birmingham Health System states, "If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force (while you sneeze), they will pop out. Suppressing a sneeze can be harmful, particularly to your ears." I learned that if you hold in a sneeze while pinching your nose, while it relieves the pain in your ears, "it briefly blocks the blood flow to your heart". Yes, you can die from sneezing if you hold it in.
