    people don't actaully say bless you because your heart stops for an instant, they say it because a long time ago, or still now by some, it was thought that when you sneezed you let part of your soul out of your body, so then bless you was said to recapture the part of your soul that was displaced from your body and saying bless you would make you whole again
