I was curious if anyone else feels this way - when my symptoms are bad, especially breathing, I feel short of breath, but do try to write it off as "it must be something else", and then I go to sneeze, and that big breath your body naturally takes before a sneeze, just doesn't happen normally.. it's like I inhale quickly before the sneeze, but then my diaphram just stops.. so I still sound like i have a strong forceful sneeze, but it's like it is incomplete!?

I had this REALLY badly the week i got admitted into the hospital a year ago.. and it came back a bit a few weeks ago (thankfully that is better now)!

Yes I have had this problem recently related to breathing issues. For me when I need to sneeze I can't get enough air so the sneeze doesn't happen. This makes for an incredibly tickly nose!
