Back Pain

What causes chest and back pain when sneezing ?

My fiance' tends to have severe chest and back pain after sneezing. The pain kicks in immediately after he sneezes and can last up to about 30 seconds. I tried to do some research on these symptoms but I haven't been getting a lot of information. I would just like to know what causes this to occur. Also, my fiance' has "pectus excavatum" - a hollowed chest. Could this play a part in the pain he experiences ? Any information would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks.
