Why does it feel so good to sneeze?

Answer 1

Sneezing is a release of endorphins, which are chemicals in your body that make you feel good. (For example, after you exercise, you feel better, because exercising releases endorphins) So sneeze away!

Answer 2

Because your sneeze reflex uses air from your respiratory system in order to power the sneeze. It induces a contraction close to spasm in your lungs & diaphragm to suck in air quickly in order to sneeze, to propel out of your nose offending material from your nasal passages and even from areas that are deeper into your sinuses. Sometimes you will sneeze a number of times in a row, and when this happens, it's very difficult to breathe, both because the hard, sharp inhalation (taking in of air) doesn't give your lungs enough time to process it and pull out the oxygen you need, and, as well, the fact that the violent expelling (exhalation) of that air in the sharp sneeze happens immediately afterward. If you're having a sheezing fit and you begin to feel dizzy, sit down, and if you can take anti-histamines, take a mild OTC version such as Benadryl.

If you are troubled by a lot of sneezing and other chronic symptoms of Allergies or other respiratory difficulties, see your health care provider.
