Comments on: The Sneeze/Nausea Connection? http://moof.blogsplot.net/2006/09/09/sneeze-nausea-connection/ Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:51:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Nicole http://moof.blogsplot.net/2006/09/09/sneeze-nausea-connection/#comment-23638 Nicole Wed, 07 Mar 2007 03:57:43 +0000 http://moof.blogsplot.net/2006/09/09/sneeze-nausea-connection/#comment-23638 I'm 23 and have had the nausea/sneezing problem for as long as I can remember, even as a child. I have no major health issues and have never had any major surgeries. I do have mild allergies during warmer weather but nothing of real concern. My mother also has the exact same sneezing issue but not as often as I do. It happens to me a few times every week and I have just gotten used to it over the years. Although, I can say that I have never actually thrown up, I just always feel the sudden urge to (tense facial muscles, sudden weakness, salivation, etc.) but know that I won't. It's definitely interesting to see how common this is. I actually looked this up out of boredom and expected no search results. weird.

And yes, folks think I'm nuts and the dr looks at me and says "huh" and that's it. It seems to be something must cause it if all these folks experience it also. Seems some md type person should have some ideas, not yet I suppose? I have a few ailments similar to others in that I have type 2 diabetes, insulin dependent, ataxia, seizures, depression, gallstones, sleep apnea... and I won't go on with the gory details beyond that :o) I take aLOT of meds, including for depression, diabetes, blood pressure, high cholesterol. Still a mystery, however, I have a few things I want to look into after reading others' replies.. I'm glad this thread is out here so we can share this interesting connection.

Perhaps the fillers used to make the medications are the source of the problem. One common link seems to be that EVERYBODY is on some kind of medication.

Hi, My mom is 67. She started experiencing the Snausea about five years ago. She also did not realize how many others are experiencing this same issue unil I found this blog. I would like to mention some habits. Smoking/Coffee using splenda and the sneezing usually happens on an empty stomach. She is a type two diabetic, high Cholesterol, High blood pressure, acid reflux and anxiety. Medications: Vytorin, amitripyline, actos, Quinaretic, 81mg asprin, omeprazole daily. I have emailed discovery health to see if they can help out this this question as to why? Sorry for posting this again but I posted to the wrong blog :( sorry.

Since the endocrine system supplies the body with all it's chemical reactions it seems to me that it is the root I do not have GERD, but I do have thyroid and parathyroid issues, something that keeps coming up here, too.

I have noticed that this happens more often first thing in the morning than other times of the day. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux) seems to be a common denominator here. That could also explain the vagus nerve involvement (hiatal hernia bumping up against the nerve?) I am a 39 year old male with GERD. I have food allergies, but no respiratory ones. I take prilosec every day to treat extreme reflux disease. After reading these responses, I am beginning to think there is a link between GERD and what someone amusingly called "snausea" - or perhaps it is a side effect of common GERD medications?

I explained that I first experienced this after my second pregnancy (age 27) and have had it ever since. It usually happens after taking my morning vitamins and it often takes 2 or 3 sneezes before the nausea completely goes away. The only medication I take is Synthroid for a thyroid nodule. It doesn't happen every day and seemed especially worse when I started taking Anti-oxidants as well. As good as they are for me, I more often than not "forget" to take these in order to avoid the unpleasant nausea. It only lasts a minute or so but is powerful enough that I would rather avoid it! To get it over with faster, I will often look into bright light which usually helps me bring on a sneeze.
