Why Do We Sneeze?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Exercise
Exercise is a great way to help keep you fit and healthy. It can help to keep the immune system strong and this, in turn, can help to prevent disease. In the short term, however, it can sometimes cause sneezing.
When we exercise, we tend to breathe more heavily as we try to meet our body’s increased demand for oxygen. This can cause our nasal passage to dry up and our nose will begin to drip as a result. This will, in turn, cause us to start sneezing. It is only temporary and the sneezing should stop shortly after you have recovered from your workout.
