Breathe out before the sneeze. It will be much less powerful when you aren't squeezing your maximum lung capacity out through your nose and mouth.
Thats a real pro tip right here Been doing it like that for years and I am a full time allergician
Wow, didn't know you could graduate as an Allergician! Nature is amazing 🤣
That’s interesting. Never heard of this before. Gonna see if I’m actually able to next time I need to sneeze. I almost feel like the deep inhale before a sneeze is involuntary but we’ll see…
Makes sense. Gonna try this the next time..
Edit : Just sneezed. There's a problem. Just as I'm about to sneeze I breath in. I'll need to use a lot of force in a short time to exhale any air. Am I doing it wrong?
I don't exhale, rather I just close off my airway to stop the big inhale. It sounds super uncomfortable to try exhaling at that point, but with some practice I have been able to stop the inhale and that mutes the sneeze considerably. Also, I can plug my nose when I feel it start to tickle and stop the sneeze entirely.
And this won’t rip my diaphragm?
