Question 1

why do i start to cough when i eat or drink cold things?

Accepted Answer

Could be asthma: There are many things that than cause after eating.  One could be aspiration- accidentally swallowing liquids down the wrong pipe.  If this only happens with cold, there is a phenomenon called bronchospasm, a component of asthma where the tubes in the lungs tighten up in response to cold which can cause a need to cough.  This can be tested for and treated by a physician.

Reactive airway: Perhaps a trial of leukotriene - Singulair(Montelukast) would ease up your airway reactivity. Go see a pulmonologist, there are a few different inhaled and oral medicines that could help this reaction in your windpipes

Question 4

Accepted Answer

See answer: Wet cough after something cold to eat or drink suggests vaso-motor imbalance. It may be one of many triggers of asthma. Especially if bronchodilators  help  when given as rescue medicines. Best would be to see a pulmonologist / lung specialist. After examination and evaluation the specialist can diagnose properly and maybe able to put u on preventative meds.

Question 5

why do i cough after i've had something cold to eat or drink?

Accepted Answer

Bronchospasm....: Cold can cause bronchospasm which, in turn, can lead to coughing. Try to eat and drink cold substances slower, giving them the chance to warm up prior to swallowing. If this is more than a nuisance, see your doctor since bronchodilator inhalers may help the situation.

Accepted Answer

Skipped Heart beat: I understand your concern about “heartskip a beat” 
We all occasionally feel them.
It is likely that you had skipped beat due to Stress.
It is not due to cough or not eating.
They may occur due to use of Caffeine, Nicotine, Electrolyte imbalance or Heart disease.
See Psychiatrist for Therapy for stress of relationship, unresolved feelings of worry, fear, hurt, resentment; work and finances.

Question 8

i've had a whooping cough for a year now and it's getting worse. i can't eat oily and cold food or drink and when i cough too hard i vomit a lot.

Accepted Answer

Chronic cough: Chronic cough may persist after resolution of infection but more importantly maybe due to a number of causes quite different from the presumed infection. Patients with chronic cough will benefit from detailed evaluation to determine the cause and proper treatment if indicated. A consult with an internist will be a good start. Take care.

Accepted Answer

Some possible: things.
cannot say in your particular case, but generally, there is some irritaiton with any respiratory infection. This leads to increased susceptibility to other inflammation. Basically, it's like asthma but temporary. Singulair (montelukast) often helps the symptoms and speeds healing of inflammation of the respiratory tract.
