When I want to sneeze but can't quite do it, I wave my arms about, wiggle my fingers or jump up and down on the spot, which makes me sneeze properly. Why do these actions have that effect ?

only an opinion, but i imagine it is because it takes your mind off the sneeze, which the brain is trying to suppress. If this is so then anything that takes your mind off the sneeze will work - try something else the next time you feel like sneezing.
