Do you ever get chest pains?

[Anonymous]

An aching, tight chest? Do you worry?

I've been experiencing pain whenever I sneeze and I know your heart stops beating for a moment when you sneeze, that's where the pain is!

I drink, have smoked from an early age and use drugs, now I worry

Think it's time for a serious talk to myself

Sorry about your problem. I was actually just reading this article: link

Because I have been sneezing since I left the gym 4 hours ago. The second page mentions the heart stopping thing, I guess it a myth! Maybe you can find some other information on this site (webmd) it's usually very trustworthy. I think medscape is another one for health info you can try and find some answers.

I read a health article somewhere saying that sneezing can be a hazard to a person's health. The jerky motion rattles your organs. And unless you're a heavy drugger, smoker and drinker, I think it shouldn't affect your heart that much. I still think you should see a doctor and get it checked out. Better safe thansorry. Hope it turns out okay for you!

Go to the doctor's office or public health clinic and get a 12-lead ECG, and see if they will give you a 24-hour holter monitor too. Those will check the rate and rhythm of your heart's electrical activity.
