Why does your body launch a full-force sneeze out of nowhere, and does your heart really pause when it happens?

We explore what is going on inside your body when you sneeze, how your brain and nerves coordinate the reflex, and where the idea of your heart stopping even comes from.

The truth behind that tiny moment is less dramatic than the myth, but far more interesting.
