What Makes You Vomit When You Blow Your Nose?
It seems to be more of a psychological thing rather than a physical problem. I can t blow my nose without gagging and or puking. It is usually because I am so grossed out, I even puke when I hear my friends hacking up mucus or even spitting it out. What in the world is going on with me? Does this happen to other people? I would just like to be able to blow my nose without puking at the feeling and sight of it!

Hi,
Yes, it can be a psychological problem and at times thinking too much about it and feeling it be dirty can cause such problems. It is just mucous that is a produced in the body and can be at times infected but need not to be anything dirty or bad.
While blowing nose it is better to first take deep breaths a few times and while doing such activity you can simply engage your mind in thinking something else so that the process becomes easy and you do not puke.
Also, do meditation and deep breathing exercises. You can, however, once consult an Otorhinolaryngologist and get yourself checked.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
