Question: Does holding your nose and ears shut, and trying to exhale cause anything to happen!? Realistically!?
One of my friend's told me his friend said if you did that you would pass out or your head would explode!. It would take much more pressure then that to do that, right!? Or could it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You're describing the Valsalva maneuver, which is useful to clear the ears in airplanes and elevators!. It won't make you pass out unless you hold your nose and mouth shut for several minutes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it would not make your head explode!

But it does increase your intra-abdominal pressure, which can affect your heart rate because of its affects on the autonomic nervous system and it can clear your ears and sinuses!. Its called the Valsalva's Manouvre!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

that's weird :SWww@Answer-Health@Com
