By Nia

Experimenting with your health and body can lead to some dangerous outcomes. This is the case of a young man who stifled his sneeze to end up with a hole in his throat. All he did was experimenting with the force of the sneeze!

Read on to find out the complete details of the entire case.

Sneeze

The doctors in Leicester have treated a 34-year-old man who has ruptured his throat while he was trying to control a high-force sneeze. Due to the high pressure of his sneeze, it ended up ripping through the soft tissue of the throat.

Though this is a rare and unusual condition, the medics are sharing his case with the public to make people aware of the dangers of controlling their sneeze. The damage done to his throat is so severe that doctors reveal that his grim story should be a warning to others.

Apparently, the man, whose gruesome painful experience has been detailed in a medical journal, is said to have been suffering from excruciating and debilitating injuries after he pinched his nose and clamped his mouth shut to control the high-pressure sneeze.

The force of the sneeze was so severe that it blew a hole in the back of his throat. It is reported that the man was barely able to speak or swallow after the sneeze. On the other hand, he even started hearing a popping and crackling sound as air passed through the new hole.

When medics examined the man, they found out that the crackling and popping sounds that he had complained of, extended from his neck and went down all the way to his rib cage. This was a sure sign of air bubbles finding their way into the deep tissue and muscles of the chest as the man did not visit the doctor initially.

He was fed through a tube and given intravenous antibiotics to recover. The man spent a whole week in the hospital. During his discharge, he was sternly warned not to try holding back a sneeze ever again.
