It's most: probably from repetitive musculo-skeletal strain from breathing and especially sneezing. Suggest a check up with your doctor.

Several things: It could be from a cracked rib or inflamed rib joint. A blood clot caught in the lungs can do this. Irritation of the lung lining can do it too. If you are having trouble catching your breath, call your doctor or go to an urgent care or emergency room.
