A member asked:
Mum has been coughing for months she passed out last night from coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tussive syncope: Brief loss of consciousness associated with paroxysms of coughing. Most often in heavy set people who smoke. Caused by persistent increased intrathoracic pressure diminishing venous return to the heart, thus lowering cardiac output. Make sure Mum stops smoking, gets a full medical exam of her chronic cough and gets well. Best wishes.
