What causes sudden chest and back pain when sneezing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: A lot of the time there is inflammation of the chest wall and this may be termed costochondritis. Once your symptoms improve the pain should go away. You may take some over the counter Motrin for relief.
