Can sneezing too many times consecutively make my heart skip a beat?

Question: I tend to sneeze a lot, and some people have told me that I could die or screw up the rhythm of my heart. Same goes with coughing?

Answers:
Sneezing can cause a vagal reaction and thus affect cardiac rhythm, yes. But you'd have to have a seriously abnormal conduction system - or sneeze vitually continuously - for any significant cardiac irregularity to occur.

So gesundheit! And stop worrying.
