When Sneezing Have Shooting Pain, Nerve Pain Towards Arms, Chest. Cure For Symptoms?

I don't know which topic to put this under: allergies, nerve pain, or back pain? Every time I sneeze, a shocking "struck-by-lightning" type pain shoots through my upper back, up into my shoulders and collar bone, then down my arms and into the very tips of my fingers. Sometimes it travels towards my chest but stops just under my breasts. It is excruciating and lasts anywhere from 15 seconds to a couple minutes. It really feels like something is wrong and I am scared. It only happens after I sneeze, no other time. Now, I dread the sensation of a sneeze coming on and try to stop it at all costs because I cannot take the pain that follows.
