Best Answer

Sneezing, also called sternutation, is an involuntary, sudden and violent rush of air out through the nose and mouth. The body takes this action to get rid of irritating or harmful objects in the nose. Sneezing aids the body, but can be harmful to other people. For example, the nose fills with congestion that contains germs when a person has a cold. Sneezing helps clear the nose. But unless the sneezer covers the mouth and nose, the germs escape into the air and may infect others.

When you sneeze all bodily functions stop even your heart?

In a word, no, your heart does not stop when you sneeze. From my perspective, it is hard to even imagine what this would mean. A sneeze itself is really a very brief event, occurring in a shorter time then a heartbeat. Of course, there is the building up to the sneeze (the "ah" of the "ah-choo"), but the heart certainly does not stop beating because of this ah-ing. Check your pulse next time to prove this to yourself.
