sneeze chest and shoulder pain

I have the same issue. Very bad pain in my chest and arms when I sneeze. No one mentioned it but I would guess everyone on here has very large sneezes. Not those little chirps that you here from some small women. I have had this symptom as long as I remember and I'm 45. I always assumed it was simply the high velocity of my sneezes contracting my large chest and arm muscles very fast. Similar to a muscle cramp.

Pain in rear left shoulder only, but when sneeze or cough it hurts more and into chest area, almost brings me to tears, any ideas on what this could be, nothing on right side at all.

Consult the doctor if the symptoms persist and discuss whether you need to get any investigations including a chest xray and ECG done. Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information. Regards.

I have similar symptoms. I sneeze and then I have terrible pain around my shoulder/rotator cuff and all the way down my arms that last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. I am also a 25 year old male. Played baseball in HS/Uni, did martial arts, and still lift weights. I am 6'3 240lbs. I've had some tests done and it may be due to posture and muscle tightness in the upper back and shoulders.

Well now, I have the same heavy, sometimes stinging (when I stretch or sneeze), pain in my chest but also some pain in my shoulders and headaches (and strange stiffnesses in my head and neck that come and go). There are also pains in my throat that are somewhat sharp. None of the pain is continuous but they are persistent. Also, I had an odd occurrence this morning.

Everything was fine until last Sunday when he sneezed and felt pain at the needle site. His pain got gradually worse and it became hard for him to breath. On Wednesday he gave in and decided to go to the emergency room. They ran all these test from blood, X-ray, to a ct scan where he had to drink this special fluid that shows more on the scan. After all these tests the doctor tells him both of his lungs look partially collapsed and prescribes antibiotics and pain medication.

Anyway when I was talking to the sharp Nurse Practitionor who did the right test that may have saved my life she told me about another very fit guy who was training for a triathlon and his left shoulder/chest hurt and finally came in to have it looked at. He was in his early 30's by the way. Turned out has was having a major heart attack but due to his conditioning was able to deal with it. Regardless he was medivacked to a hospital to deal with the situation.

I have this pain on my left lower abdomen whenever I laugh or cough or sneeze or contract my stomach muscles. It's not unbearable pain but it's definitely uncomfortable. What could this be?

The pain itself is more of a sharp pulling/tugging/pressure-like pain that is only present at one specific point anywhere in my chest. The pain is located almost directly in the center of my chest, offset to my left by no more than 1cm or 1/2inch and about 5cm or 2inch above my nipple line(I am male). Or, another description would be 4inch below the inner-most point of my left collar bone. The pain feels a lot like that of a muscle/bone type injury.

I have pains in chest, ribs and along bra line and stabbing though to back and wont go away. I cant seem to take a deep breath cause it hurts in my chest, breasts and back shoulder blades also seems to have pains up arm pit like a stabbing pain. I’m 22 yr old Female. First signs in Aug ‘09 under right breast and came gone and 1hr after.

Any type of chest/shoulder/pain between shoulder blades type of pain should be considered a medical emergency and should be checked out by a doctor

I can relate to neck pain that is so bad that a sneeze or cough is to much to bear. I have just had surgery, foramotomy, or something like that. I do not spell well. This was supposed to relieve my pain in Left shoulder but so far no luck. My arm feels better but my whole shoulder spasms now. I think your pain may be comming from DDD . Do you have sgoulder or arm pain also.

I'm in my late 20's and have been experiencing pain around my heart/lung area when taking deep breaths. It's been going on for a few days now, and I now have minor pain in my left shoulder as well. I have been under some stress lately, so I'm not sure if it is related. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

The symptoms of pleurisy are chest pain and difficulty breathing. The chest pain usually starts suddenly. People often describe it as a stabbing pain and it usually gets worse with breathing. The pain: May always be present, but it usually gets worse when you breathe in. You may avoid breathing deeply to prevent the pain. Usually is on only one side of the chest. May extend to a shoulder or the belly. Is usually worse when you cough, sneeze, or suddenly move.

Or earlier I thought I was havin a stroke because my right arm was acheing and shaking quite a lot probs silly I knw but having this health anxiety is driving me crazy, I also get strage shooting pains in my left shoulder and chest, is this jst my anxiety?

I have had right shoulder pain for a year and a half. the pain now radiates down my upper arm. I can not lift my arm above my head or out to the side. Rasing my arm out front of my body is ok unless my hand faces up. Night time is hard to sleep and i wake up when i move because i jolt my shoulder. The other thing that bothers me if i cough or sneeze i get sever pain. If i reach out or to the side the pain is so bad that i gasp for breath from the pain. How bad is the shoulder?

my heart is always paining in the right side.and i have shoulder pain ....i am always feeling nervous..i feel like my heart is shaking.....i dont know why this happens ....i am 42.....i feel like this from 2 weeks before....what should i do....

Unless I have someone light walk on my back or if I bend backwards over a couch or if I kind of jerk my right shoulder up and my left shoulder down or vice versa and really pop something in my ribcage, or it feels like my ribcage, or twist hard in my chair sometimes I get a couple breaths relief but that's it.

Do these symptoms sound like it could be a possibility? Chest pain from the middle to the left, middle and left back and shoulder pain, loss of appetite, and nausea.

Is it possible to have a goiter you cannot detect? I am having the unfortunate situation of having to self diagnose. I have been to dozens of doctors, have Grave's and Hashi's in my family- and have lots of health problems. Last year I had a shoulder surgery that has left me in more pain. I am wondering now if I may have a thyroid problem, undetected. I have posted a few times within the past couple of days. I finally have an endo appt. scheduled.

I've had this pain for 2wks now. Just to cough or sneeze brings me too tears. I thought maybe stress cause I am moving,but I think it is much worse than it is. .. should I just go to "Urgent Care?
