Had Sneezing Episodes Due To Allergies Leading To Sharp Pain On Left Side
I have had allergies flare up a few days ago which caused some sneezing episodes. A couple days ago I sneezed and felt a very sharp pain in my left side. Yesterday I did not sneeze but today I sneezed again and I experienced the very sharp pain again. I had no issues prior to a few days ago. I am a male, 53, good health.

Hi sometimes sudden increase in intrathoracic pressure can lead to small tears in intercostal muscles which can be painful. It gets away spontaneously. If it is increasing, you need to see a chest physician. Hope this helps.
