Sharp chest pain: With sneezing suggests musculoskeletal pain. However heart disease has to be ruled out.Ask his dr about the status of his heart, eyes ;kidneys.Take care! http://m.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/tips/ http://www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/health/health-topics/topics/dhd/signs.Html. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/dhd/signs.html.

Have it evaluated: A person with chest pain needs to be evaluated and treated appropriately. Multiple possible causes may be: heart attack, esophageal reflux, anxiety, musculoskeletal, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, and aortic dissection. Have it evaluated right away to prevent potential serious complications.
