An American almost died while sneezing (3 photos)

If you've ever had back pain, you know very well that the worst thing at this time is sneezing. But the fact that this unfortunate American got it from a simple sneeze is downright scary.





35-year-old US resident Ian Applegate simply sneezed three times and almost went to his forefathers, and all because during this ill-fated sneeze, he ruptured the outer shell of his jugular artery.

As a result, a blood clot formed, which blocked the blood flow to the brain and provoked a stroke.

Gentlemen, congratulations on our new phobia.



It should be noted that Ian was really lucky that day. Before he had a stroke, he put his 4-year-old son John in a car seat when he got behind the wheel, and by a lucky chance, he started sneezing before the car moved.

"It was a pretty big sneeze, but I've never experienced anything like it in my life. I never thought it was possible," said Applegate, who is still in hospital. "Now I'm afraid to sneeze. My wife is eight months pregnant and I want to be there for the birth."



Thanks to the fact that he was quickly discovered in critical condition and quickly taken to the nearest hospital, the man's life is now out of danger, but he faces a long rehabilitation.
