What Causes Pins And Needle Sensation In Chest While Sneezing?

Hi! My husband is 48 years old, about 6 foot 2 inches and unsure of his weight. He has a cold and is sneezing quite a bit. When he sneezes, he gets pins and needles in his chest and upper back area. He compares it to the pain he experienced when he had shingles about 10 years ago.It disappears shortly after he sneezes. He doesn t get sick very often, even with a cold. Should he go to a doctor? Thanks very much.
